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 on to
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 CDs, music, and audio Multimedia and print works
Butler explains fair use, public domain, documentation and
licenses, permissions, creation and ownership, violations and
penalties, international copyright law, and avoiding copyright
problems as they relate to each of these formats. A separate
chapter covers the use of each format in distance learning, as well
as how the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and the
Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization (TEACH) Act
relate to and affect the many aspects of distance education. A
clear and comprehensive textbook for copyright courses, this book
features figures and decision flowcharts throughout that make the
concepts presented easy to follow and understand. Appendices
