Are you teaching or supporting a class this spring and want to learn more about copyright and electronic reserves on Stellar?

We’ll give you an overview of the latest understanding of US copyright law’s fair use provisions as it applies to materials posted to course management systems like Stellar. We’ll discuss the federal ruling on the Georgia State University e-reserves case and the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries. Then we’ll share best practices for posting to Stellar, and how the Libraries can help with your e-reserves.

Staff from the MIT Libraries’ Office of Scholarly Publishing & Licensing and Course Reserves Team will be available to answer questions.
