Is It a Fair Use? A Hands-On Discussion

Abstract

This workshop was provided for instructors, researchers, and library employees; in-person and online, as well as being open to the general public (in-person and online) during Fair Use Week 2016. In each workshop session, two librarians from Virginia Tech University Libraries provided a brief overview of guidelines to consider U.S. Copyright questions, with a focus on Fair Use. Participants discussed their experiences and used an interactive tool to analyze example Fair Use case studies.
