</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:12px">As
librarians, we know we are charged with both upholding the intellectual
property rights of copyright holders and with staunchly defending and
exercising our fair use. Unfortunately, uncertainty around which
practices constitute fair use often leaves us apprehensive,
over-cautious, or inconsistent. With the release of the Code of Best
Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries in January
2012, librarians gained a valuable new tool in our efforts to understand
and use fair use appropriately in our daily practice. We will be
joined, virtually, by members of the team that authored the Code who
will help us understand its history and purpose. Following this
informative session, Rachel Bridgewater will facilitate local discussion
about application of the Code and the future of fair use.</span><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-size:12px"><span><span style="font-size:12px"></span><br><br></span></span></span>
