This four-week workshop gives students a hands-on view of copyright. Who owns the works I create? When can I use text, images and songs created by others? Learn how to determine if an item is in the public domain. If it is not, learn how to determine if the library/archive exception in copyright law allows your use. If the library/archive exception doesn't fit your need, learn how to make a good faith Fair Use evaluation. Finally, learn some tips about getting permission to use others' works.
Assignments include: registering for a copyright, creating a creative commons license for a work you've created, searching the Copyright Clearance Center (copyright.com) for permissions and designating a copyright agent with the Copyright Office.
Threaded discussions with classmates and the instructor will be the primary means of feedback.
Faculty: Mary Minow, J.D., A.M.L.S. is a Library Law consultant at librarylaw.com
