2018 ASHS Annual Conference

Krista Cox, Director of Public Policy Initiatives for the Association of Research Libraries, will guide participants through fair use, which is an essential right that allows the use of copyrighted material without permission from the rightsholder under certain circumstances. The law encourages authors by giving them limited control over certain uses of their works, and it encourages everyone (including authors) to use existing cultural and scientific material without permission, under certain circumstances, to engage in a wide variety of vital activities. Krista will help us determine how fair use applies to different areas of research, instruction, and publishing through discussion of various practical case studies.
