This workshop will use court cases to illustrate the doctrine of fair use, with a particular focus on fair use as it applies to libraries and universities. Participants will then be invited to practice applying fair use to a set of hypothetical scenarios. All are welcome.

This is the first in a series of workshops offered by the U-M Library Copyright Office on copyright issues of interest to the library and broader campus community. Topics will include important fair use cases and what they mean for you, how to identify works that have entered the public domain, and what to think about when working with a publisher.
