Copyright Crash Course II: Using Copyrighted Materials Under Fair Use (9/25 at 4pm)

This session will provide an in-depth look at the fair use provision in copyright law and how it can be applied to using copyrighted materials in teaching and research. Participants will work through examples to help make them feel comfortable applying fair use.
