In celebration of Fair Use Week:

Join the UCSF Library for this free Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Presents webcast during our week of fair use digital dialogues. 

In this webinar, we will try to unwind some of the complexity of fair use. We will consider the role of context in making fair use decisions and suggest strategies for deciding when to turn to fair use and how to think through the analysis.

Learning outcomes:

• Learn about some of the rationale behind an open-ended copyright exception like fair use.
• Gain a greater understanding of how fair use works and when it is applicable to a specific situation.
• Gain greater confidence when making fair use decisions.

Presenter: Kevin Smith, Director, Copyright & Scholarly Communication, Duke University Libraries

Kevin’s first book, "Owning and Using Scholarship: An IP Handbook for Teachers and Researchers” was recently published by ACRL.

More details about Fair Use Week, February 23-27, 2015, will be available on the UCSF Library website starting February 23.
