Overview:

Copyright issues are central to the mission of colleges and universities, but often, copyright policies fail to reflect the current legal landscape. Common university fair use policies have been heavily influenced by the Classroom Guidelines, which have been attractive due to their formulaic nature.

But a clear understanding of the history and principles that underpin fair use doctrine can enable your institution to better serve your community and ensure legal compliance.

Participate in this on-demand webcast to take an in-depth look at the fair use doctrine. You will:

• Understand the origins and evolution of fair use
• Determine if the use of a particular work is fair under the law
• Learn how fair use applies to materials used in the classroom
• Understand how fair use pertains to electronic reserves
• Craft policy around fair use doctrine

What Others Are Saying

"This overview of fair use was one of the most useful I have seen. It provided a sound overview of fair use and a perspective on recent and often confusing developments in the law."

"Mr. Blakeslee has in-depth knowledge of the historic rationale for copyrights, case law and legislative history. His exposition is straightforward and clear. His practical advice regarding how to think about these matters and how we should, in turn, advise our faculty and administrators is sound and helpful."
