Greetings! As part of the monthly Library Law Spotlight Webinar series, Tomorrow (March 27, 2019, at 10:30am) There will be a FREE 45 minute webinar discussing the Fair Use under U.S. Copyright Law (17 USC), as it pertains to Public Libraries. I will be discussing the Four Elements of Fair Use and how Libraries can analyze these elements to get a sense of whether an intended use is likely to be considered "Fair Use" under current copyright law. After this webinar, participants may expect to : * Have a basic understanding of Fair Use under U.S. Copyright law. * Know the Four Elements of Fair Use * Have a basic understanding of how to apply the Four Elements to an intended use in order to estimate whether an intended use could be considered fair. The webinar is FREE, but registration is required. To register, please go to https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/event.jsp?event=175& Can't make it, but interested? The webinar will be recorded and then posted on the LM website for later viewing. Thanks! Clare Clare D. Membiela, MLS, J.D.
