Want to have fun and learn copyright at the same time? Join our host and guest copyright expert panelists as we explore copyright through the Copyright Gameshow - with music, cheering, and fun! The discussions focus around actual copyright situations that all librarians face. Members make contacts with other more experienced copyright librarians that they can follow up with, and soon they become part of the copyright team. We welcome all comers!
This year’s game will consist of a lightning round of “Is it Fair Use?” where librarians learn about the many allowances afforded to them under fair use. The second section lets the audience members vote on copyright case studies. (You be the judge!) Each audience member can vote via their phone, laptop, or tablet. In the final round, audience members pose their own real-life copyright scenarios that the audience can vote on and then discuss.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the importance of fair use as it applies to work inside libraries, archives, and other cultural institutions, and the work that is developed by our community of researchers, patrons, and other users.
Conceptualize “answering” the most common copyright questions using the structure of the statute and interpretive case law
Develop myth busting techniques for common copyright and fair use misunderstandings that can reduce risk at libraries, archives, and other cultural institutions
