Copyright Issues for Librarians: Understanding What's Legal, What's Fair and What's Best Practice Thursday, June 24, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (includes lunch) DC Convention Center, Room 144 A/C This interactive program explores the complexity of issues librarians face in managing copyrighted materials while striving to connect users, content and culture. Using case studies and real-life scenarios from their day to day work, participants will gain experience in assessing the copyright status of a work, identifying the appropriate provision(s) of copyright law to address particular situations, performing fair use analyses, and interpreting institutional copyright policies to assess risk.
