Educational Record Rights

Every year, Iowa Public Television purchases educational record rights for all 105 series included in The Classroom Resource catalog. This allows teachers to record programs and retain them as long as they air on IPTV.

Specific record rights fall into one of the two categories:

Recording/duplication allowed:

You may record, make as many copies as needed, or obtain copies through your Area Education Agency as long as they air on IPTV.

Record only. No duplication:

You may record the broadcast or borrow a recording from a lending library. No copies may be made from the original recording.

Public television programs not included in the 2003-2004 Classroom Resource catalog -- for example prime time broadcasts -- are subject to different copyright guidelines. Check the schedule for individual educational record rights or contact IPTV at (800) 532-1290 or K12@iptv.org.
