    • You acknowledge EconEdLink and The Council for Economic Education as the provider of the resource.

Note, however, that the Website integrates the Internet into the teaching and learning process. We spend a considerable amount of time updating links as external websites reorganize or remove content from the Internet. A hard-copy reprint or excerpt from the Website would therefore be dated before long. Rather than reprint the entire resource, we encourage you to print the title, author, overview, and URL, along with a copyright line citing the Website and The Council for Economic Education as the publisher.

We would appreciate receiving two complimentary copies of any published material so that we may track how the Website's materials are being used and presented to teachers. If this is possible, please send them to the address given under Contact Information below.

    • You include our attribution information: "EconEdLink.org is a nonprofit website maintained by the Council for Economic Education."
