Register Now for “Digital Copyright” with Mary Minow

March 22, 2011 at 8:12 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , , ,

*Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science Continuing Education*

* Digital Copyright*

Online (asynchronous)

$250 (Simmons GSLIS Alumni Price $200)
April 1 – April 30, 2011
PDPs: 15

This four-week workshop gives students a hands-on, nonacademic view of copyright. Bring your own real-life scenarios for class discussion. Who owns the works I create? When can I use text, images and music created by others? Learn how to determine if an item is in the public domain. If it is not, learn how to determine if the library/archive or another user exception in copyright law allows your use. If the user exceptions don’t fit your need, learn how to make a good faith Fair Use evaluation. Finally, learn some tips about getting permission to use others’ works.

Assignments include: registering for a copyright, creating a creative commons license for a work you’ve created, searching the Copyright Clearance Center (copyright.com) for permissions and designating a copyright agent with the Copyright Office (optional).

Threaded discussions with classmates and the instructor will be the primary means of teaching.

Instructor: Mary Minow, J.D., A.M.L.S. is a Library Law consultant at librarylaw.com.

Fair Use and Balance in Copyright: Online Course Registration

October 11, 2010 at 9:42 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , ,

via LIBREF-L

The Center for Intellectual Property, a non-profit member association, will
be offering several online courses. The fall & spring Copyright Management &
Leadership courses include:

Fair Use and Balance in Copyright: The Best Practices Model.
http://cipcommunity.org/PA_PJ_FairUse.
Dates: November 8-19, 2010 (Register by 10/29).
Instructors: Patricia Aufderheide, Ph.D., & Peter Jaszi, J.D.

Description: What rights do new makers and users have to use copyrighted
material without permission or payment, and how do they convince their own
administrators that they have those rights? How risky is it to use those
rights, and how can those risks be mitigated? What’s at stake in exercising
and defending fair use and other balancing features of copyright, and how
does the balancing concept fit into the evolution and current reality of
copyright law and practice?

The two pioneering academics who changed industry practice with
best-practices codes for fair use explain both the law and the importance of
these new codes as tools for practitioners. They describe how new makers of
cultural material are designing and employing best practices codes that help
them use the rights they have under law. They explain the historical and
legal justifications for the fair use right (including why a defense can be
a right!), troubleshoot interpretations and explore with you how this model
could work in your community.
