Today - Copyrights in Academia


Copyrights in Academia, a faculty brown bag, presented by Tamara Hillabush-Walker.  (Wednesday, March 28 at Noon in 11-109).  Is it legal to show a film in class or copy the chapter of a book and distribute it to the class? Maybe, maybe not. The TEACH Act extends the rules of fair use in the classroom and all faculty members should be aware of the legal stipulations of using copyrighted materials in the classroom and beyond. With today’s new technologies, the boundaries of what is considered a classroom have changed. Bring your lunch, and join us for an informational session on what the TEACH Act covers and how it applies to you.
