Review

A person may use up to 10%, or an entire chapter, of a copyrighted product for the use of a review. It should be noted that the reviewer must note the source of the work, and make reference to the creator(s) of the work.

Private Study

Education

As long as the copyrighted material is being used for the purpose of education, up to 10% of the work can be used. The work may be only used for the purpose of education though, and may not be published.
