Liaison Discussion: Understanding Fair Use

Topic: Understanding Fair Use. Led by Kellam Ayres.
Who’s Invited: All liaisons, and anyone else who might be interested
Who’s “Required”: Primary liaisons, please try to attend if you can. Sorry in advance for any conflicts.
Where and when: Tuesday, July 9. 10:30-11:30 am. LIB 145.

Description: Want to learn how to confidently make Fair Use evaluations for copyrighted materials? I’ll walk you through the Four Factors and then show you a few online tools to help resolve even the trickiest questions. (This is a repeat of Kellam’s 2013 LIS In-Service presentation.)

“Liaison Discussion Section” meetings address research and/or technology topics of interest to liaisons. They can be conversations, or presentations, or both. They take place most often on the 3rd week of the month, but in order to allow people who work different hours to attend, they’re sometimes scheduled for different days/times.

Last Chance — LIS Open Workshops Wind Down for the Summer

It’s not too late to join us for a workshop (in English!) before Language Schools begin.  Visit go/lisworkshops to view the last of our advertised open sessions.  You’ll find a Drupal introduction that covers basic web site maintenance skills, as well as another opportunity to learn how to access and use  lynda.com  — Middlebury’s fabulous online learning resource that uses short videos to help you acquire new business and technology skills, including photography finesse.

Lynda’s recently added courses include such varied topics as “Managing Teams,” “Designing a Book,” and “Up and Running with Windows 8.” Watch a single video or work through an entire course, but be warned — it’s addictive.

Please note that we do continue to offer “by request” group training during the summer months, staff and classroom space permitting; kindly send your request with details to helpdesk@middlebury.edu.
