Mitigating Risk at the Front Lines: Copyright First Responders Program (Webinar 2016)In this webinar for ASERL, Kyle Courtney of Harvard University's Office for Scholarly Communication describes how issues of fair use and open access, MOOCs and repositories, and the push to digitize mean that library patrons, faculty, students, staff, need more guidance on copyright matters than ever. These questions are arriving at the library with greater frequency, and Kyle believes a modern, 21st century library should be equipped to answer such questions.
Fair Use without Fear (Webinar, 2014)The third in a series of webinars focusing on open access, copyright, and fair use. Co-sponsored by ASERL, Boston Library Consortium (BLC), Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA), Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), and Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC). The lead presenters are Peter Jaszi and Brandon Butler of American University's Washington College of Law. Mark Jacobs Executive Director of the Washington Research Library Consortium, introduces the session. In this session, Jaszi and Butler discuss how pedagogy and scholarship grow and change with technology, that more and more of what university professors do implicates copyright. More than any other, fair use is the legal doctrine that empowers members of the academy to do their jobs without having to ask or pay for permission. The presenters describe the growth of the fair use doctrine and the ways that communities, including scholars, are taking advantage of their fair use rights to get things done.
Copyright and Fair Use 101 (Webinar 2013)The first in a series of webinars focusing on open access, copyright, and fair use. Co-sponsored by ASERL (Association of South East Research Libraries), Boston Library Consortium (BLC), California Digital Library (CDL), CIC Center for Library Initiatives, Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA), Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), and Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC). Speakers are Christine Fruin (University of Florida Libraries) and Anne Gilliland (UNC Chapel Hill Libaries). The speakers describe the basic principles of copyright and fair use, the "four factors of fair use", and recent court cases dealing with these issues in academic libraries.
