Copyright & Digital Projects: Additional Resources and Support

• American Library Association's Fair Use Evaluation Tool
• Columbia University Libraries Fair Use Checklist
• University of California's guide to Fair Use in Teaching & Research
• Association of Research Libraries' Fair Use Best Practices

• The University of Michigan also has an excellent guide on securing permissions for copyrighted resources--including for films, book chapters, music, fine art, photos, and more.

If your particular FAQ isn't addressed here, there's a good chance that U.S. Copyright Office's Compendium has something to say about whether that type of resource is copyrightable, and the level of protection it receives.
