Have you ever wondered if you are allowed to use an image, a meme, a movie clip, or a song in your coursework or in publications? If so, come join us for an interactive discussion about how fair use can help students and faculty get the most out of their work.

How can artists like Andy Warhol, Carrie Mae Weems, Roy Lichtenstein, or Richard Prince legally use somebody else’s materials in their own art? Are you using somebody else’s photograph, illustration, text, or video in your own scholarship or creative project? Do you need permission to do that? Join University Libraries’ on Wednesday, February 27th for a hands-on workshop on the important exception of fair use, an exception in the law that allows use of copyrighted content without permission. Learn how to use copyrighted materials confidently and legally in your research, teaching, and creative endeavors.

The workshop will cover the factors to consider in determining if a use is a fair use and look to examples of authors and artists that have relied on fair use in the production of their creative works. Attendees will have the opportunity to work through a fair use analysis while making their own creative work using materials from the OSU Libraries’ collections.

Who: OSU faculty, postdocs, and graduate students
When: Wednesday, February 27, 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.
Where: Research Commons, 3rd floor of 18th Avenue Library

Scholars seeking to digitally mine collections of text — and the library professionals on board to help them — often have questions about how copyright and fair use affect their text data mining (TDM) intentions. What collections can researchers use, and how can they use them within the bounds of the law? This webcast will help library and consortia participants build literacies to navigate TDM copyright issues so that we may maximally support this innovative research. We will overview how copyright law fits in with TDM, the scope of fair use rights and what courts have said about it, and tips for building copyright literacy into TDM support and content licensing. We will also highlight several other law and policy literacies (contracts, privacy, ethics) shaping TDM research, as a preview for our holistic TDM legal literacies training.

Cornell’s Copyright Information Center will celebrate Fair Use Week with two back-to-back sessions focused on copyright and fair use. These courses are designed for staff, faculty, and students who create, reuse, remix and advise patrons on how to use copyrighted materials in research, coursework, course design and more.

While you may attend either, the “basics” session will be extremely helpful in understanding the content of the “fair use” session.

Copyright Basics
9:00am – 10:15am
Why is copyright so confusing? How does it work? What is in the public domain? What is “Creative Commons?” When starting research, writing or course design, having an eye on the rights status of the materials that you use, create and remix is crucial to long term success. This workshop will introduce participants to the structure of U.S. copyright law, including a breakdown of what exclusive rights copyright owners enjoy over their works.

Copyright & Fair Use
10:30am – 12:00pm
Fair use is a legal exemption to the exclusive rights of copyright holders. So how do you know if what you plan counts as “fair?” What resources are available to help faculty and students navigate fair use assessment? Join us for this dive into the subtle and difficult terrain of fair use assessment. The workshop will teach participants the concept of copyright limitations, and provide an in-depth look at the fair use limitation on copyright. Participants will gain a deeper knowledge about fair use’s four factors and how to apply them to their own writing and scholarship.

Face-to-face participation preferred, but feel free to join us via Zoom!
