NDLI: A Few Things Every Instruction Librarian Should Know About Copyright

Abstract	Every librarian knows at least one thing about copyright: It's confusing. U.S. Copyright law was written by lawyers for lawyers, and that makes it difficult for regular humans to understand. This is particularly troublesome because millions of people deal with copyright every day: the movies we watch, the books we read, the music we listen to, and the web pages we surf are all copyrighted. The works we create are copyrighted, too. For instruction librarians, the ubiquity of copyright can affect what we teach and how we teach it. Recent news coverage of record companies suing fans and of publishers suing universities have made many librarians even more cautious about what they use in the classroom and online, thinking it's better to be on the safe side. They refrain from making uses that are probably fair because they're just not sure what's allowed.
