Join the Scholarly Communications & Information Policy Department for a workshop celebrating Fair Use Week 2021! This workshop is open to faculty, staff, and students who want to know more about how to think through fair use when using copyrighted materials in teaching and research. We will go over a basic primer on what copyright is, then focus on fair use, an important exception to copyright that allows use of copyright-protected materials without permission under certain circumstances. We will also discuss how to apply fair use to some hypothetical scenarios.
This session will be led by Anastasia Chiu, Scholarly Communications Librarian

Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week 2021—a celebration coordinated by the Association of Research Libraries—will take place February 22–26, 2021. Fair Use is an exemption in U.S. Copyright law available to users of copyrighted content. Fair Use relies on a four-factor analysis to allow users to reuse content without permission from the rights holders. Please join me on February 23, 2021 at 3pm for an information session and workshop on Fair Use. During the program, you will learn about fair use and how to work through a fair use analysis. One lucky attendee will receive a full set of Fair Use coasters created by the American Library Association.

The Fair Use doctrine is the vital exception to copyright law that allows, in certain circumstances, the re-use of copyrighted material without permission. In 2020, when campuses were shut down and stay-at-home orders began, academia was forced to make some swift changes to the way work is done and classes are taught, and particularly were compelled realign the ways information and resources are shared with students and colleagues. Suddenly, traditional teaching modalities became unavailable, and electronic methods had to be relied upon almost exclusively. With our typical teaching and learning situations dramatically altered, was the Fair Use doctrine altered as well? The answer may surprise you. Come join us as we examine how Fair Use is performing during the pandemic, and together discuss the implications for our scholarly work going forward.

Presented by LYRASIS and Columbia University Libraries
LYRASIS and Columbia University Libraries’ Copyright Advisory Services are joining forces to pilot a new Virtual Copyright Education Center, including a series of classes on copyright issues and management. It will also include business planning with the goal of developing a sustainable service model and will be the first pilot delivered through the new Research and Innovation division of LYRASIS.
This new program was developed in partnership with Columbia University Libraries as a result of the 2017 LYRASIS Catalyst Fund award to Columbia, funding research into the feasibility of a virtual copyright education center. The Catalyst Fund is the main engine for innovation and new ideas and a membership benefit of the Leaders Circle. For those who are new to the process, each year LYRASIS earmarks funds to award to member institutions who submit ideas and proposals during our Catalyst Fund application period. The Leaders Circle then vets and votes on the projects and ideas that are most scalable and valuable to the wider community. We are excited that the Virtual Copyright Education Center has matured to the pilot phase of our innovation pipeline.

In December 2020, CARL released the Copyright Open Educational Resource for University Instructors and Staff. This self-directed course is currently being adapted for use at a number of universities across Canada.
Join four of the working group members that helped build this course – Stephanie Orfano (University of Toronto), Mark Swartz (Queen’s University), Christina Winter (University of Regina) and Rowena Johnson (University of Calgary) – for an hour-long panel discussion related to how each university is approaching course implementation at their institutions. The discussion will include: tools and techniques institutions are using to implement the course, approaches for different learning management systems (Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle), and possible strategies for encouraging course completion.

In this session will talk about how we evaluate what it means to be “Fair” when using copyright materials for teaching and instructions.

Northwestern University Libraries
Copyright is a growing concern among researchers, who may have questions like “When can I use someone else’s copyrighted work?” or “What rights do I have in my own research?” This workshop will cover basic copyright principles, as well as taking a deeper dive into how exceptions to the law like fair use apply in an academic setting. Expect small group discussions of real-life fair use case studies – participants are also encouraged to bring examples of texts, images, and other copyrighted materials they would like to incorporate into their work for the group to discuss.
This workshop is led by Liz Hamilton, Copyright Librarian at Northwestern University Libraries.
