Abstract
Increase your understanding of US copyright law, particularly US Code Title 17, Sect. 106-108, and your appreciation of rights and responsibilities with regard to intellectual property issues that faculty and students regularly face. Questions and concerns from the VT community will illustrate the legal code and university policies developed this spring will be revealed.
The Open Access Primer provides information and links to better inform ourselves about the issues as well as the resources available. Drawing on resources provided by such OA experts as Peter Suber and the recent ALA Midwinter 2012 panel, we can discuss a library policy or resolution.
