Academic Impressions: Copyright and Faculty Rights Webcast






May 12, 2011 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. CDT

Do you wish you knew more about how copyright and fair use laws apply to teaching and research?

How copyright and fair use laws apply to teaching is not always clear. The increasing ease of copying and distribution of digital materials raises the stakes even more. Faculty often do not have access to the resources and support they need to sort those challenges out.

Faculty, instructional support personnel, and other academic administrators are invited to join us online to understand the challenges and solutions of applying copyright law in your classrooms, research, and scholarship.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Before the webcast, you will receive a summary of the relevant copyright statutes and regulations so that you can familiarize yourself with the law prior to participating. During the webcast our instructors will cover the following topics:
  • Ownership of copyrighted works
  • Copyright in your own works and publications
  • Steps to protect and manage your copyright
  • Publication agreements
  • Open content requirements
  • Institutional requirements and open access
  • Fair use - using and being used (including Google Books)
INSTRUCTORS

Kevin L. Smith, J.D., Scholarly Communications Officer, Perkins Library, Duke University
Steven J. McDonald, J.D., General Counsel, Rhode Island School of Design
