Description: Librarians often want to use materials protected by copyright in library programming or when providing library service. When the protected work isn’t in the public domain and a license can’t reasonably be obtained, you may wonder whether the intended use would fall under the fair use exception. Fair use is a fact-sensitive, flexible standard, so applying it may be a little daunting and confusing. In this webinar, we’ll walk through the four fair use factors in detail and then practice doing a fair use analysis using a simple example. You’ll leave this webinar feeling more comfortable with conducting a fair use evaluation and documenting your results.

This program is eligible for 1 LEU which will be emailed to you following the webinar.

This program will be recorded.
