Give Copyright Guidance
Sara Wolf helps librarians answer copyright and fair use questions from patrons
If you’ve ever been confused about whether or not a patron’s use of copyrighted materials can be considered “fair”, this webinar is for you.
Definitive answers about fair use are tough to find, as most copyright decisions are determined by the courts. Yet, library patrons seek guidance about their use of copyrighted materials more frequently than sometimes the reference desk can handle. So, how do librarians provide appropriate guidance to their patrons without risking inappropriate giving of legal advice?
Sara Wolf will give librarians strategies for helping patrons make their own use decisions, and solidify the foundations on which fair use decisions are made.
