Copyright for Academic Librarians and Professionals (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780838912140)

In her new book, seasoned copyright expert Butler turns her attention to one of the complex arenas in the world of copyright and intellectual freedom: the unique environment of higher education. This practical handbook will show students training to become college and university librarians how to make informed decisions regarding the use and availability of print, non-print, and online resources. Based on Butler's 17 years of experience conducting copyright workshops and courses, her book matches real-world scenarios with interpretations of the law from copyright experts in the field to provide a thorough understanding of current, everyday applications of copyright law in higher education. Beginning with a solid grounding in the underlying principles of copyright law, such as fair use, public domain, permissions, plagiarism, documentation and licenses, Creative Commons, Open Source (OS), and Open Access (OS), Butler moves onto specific applications of copyright law, including * Internet resources such as blogs/vlogs, podcasts, wikis, social networking tools, and more * DVDs, television, and streaming and on-demand video * Computer and gaming software, handheld applications, and mobile technologies * Multimedia and print works
