"Borrowing" Graphics or Text for Library Web Pages: Fair Play, and Fair Use
Libraries seldom have generous graphic arts budgets, and it can be hard to give your Web pages that extra sparkle. When is it OK for a library to borrow graphics and text from other Web sites? This Webcast guides you through a handy flowchart that helps you identify what is in the public domain, gives you a sense of what qualifies as "fair use," and offers sample permission forms that can be emailed to Webmasters.

Note for LibraryLaw blog readers: Basically, I talk into a studio camera, you see me in one corner of your computer screen and my powerpoint slides in the rest of the screen. There's a chat feature, so you can type in questions for me live. I talk for 50 minutes and then try to answer questions for about 10 minutes. The technology is pretty slick if you have a fast connection. If you're somewhere other than the west coast, be sure to adjust for the time difference.
