Copyright in the Classroom

Facilitator: Stephen Carlisle, Copyright Officer, Sherman Library Research and Technology Center

Copyright at times can be incredibly simple, such as the fact that everything is protected by copyright the moment it is created. Others, like how long the copyrights last, can be very complicated. And as to the question of “is this fair use”, even Federal Judges have trouble with the concept. This session will help you understand the basics, and some of the more complicated questions, when applied to a classroom setting. 

Learning Objectives:  

Participants will be able to:  

1. Identify what is and is not copyrightable 
2. Define the public domain 
3. Describe the basics of fair use 
4. Differentiate between the use of copyrighted material live in the classroom vs. online
