Copyright and Fair Use Workshop

Tuesday, April 12, 10 a.m.-12 noon
This workshop has been postponed. Please watch this space for upcoming dates.

How do I know if something is under copyright protection? Can I use the same reserve materials every semester? How much can I use under fair use? How much of a book can I photocopy? I found it on the web, so it's not under copyright, right? Please join us for help with these and other questions.

Instructors: Alesia McManus, Head of the Science Library; Abigail Bordeaux, Electronic Resources Librarian
Location: Technology Training Center

To register, please visit the Technology Training Center's website.
