Copyright and Fair Use are hot topics today with recent court cases in the news.  It’s also a topic that brings feelings of confusion and frustration over what we can and can’t do in a digital age.    Please join us with your questions and concerns for a presentation and discussion by Marilyn Billings and Laura Quilter from UMass Amherst Libraries about scholarly communication and open education, as well as fair use interpretations of course materials, electronic reserves, streaming videos, and what you can include in myCourses.

When: 10:00am to 1:00pm on Friday, September 20th 
Where:Claire T. Carney Library’s Grand Reading Room.

Do you have specific questions for the speakers that you would like addressed at this session? Please post your questions to the Fair Use blog at: https://fairuse.blogs.umassd.edu
