Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As more and more colleges and universities establish copyright offices and/or assign the responsibilities of copyright education and advisory services to specific individuals within the institution, many times librarians, there is a paucity of resources available on how to manage that responsibility. Most works on copyright discuss the law and court cases interpreting the law but few address the situational application of it and the management and coordination of copyright efforts on a campus. Here is a complete, one-stop, guide to managing copyright at all levels—community college, college, and university. Complete chapters are devoted to: The university culture The role of a copyright office How to establish a copyright office Copyright services for librarians Copyright services for faculty Copyright services for administrators and staff Copyright services for students Written by the director of the University Copyright Office at Purdue University who holds both law and library science degrees, this is complete, authoritative guide is a must-purchase for every institution of higher education seeking to comply with the copyright law and thus avoid potential liability exposure.
Download or read book Copyright Fair Use and the Challenge for Universities written by Kenneth D. Crews and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-12-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent lawsuit against Kinko's Copies for copyright infringement has exposed the confusion and heightened the fear of liability surrounding copyright issues in colleges and universities. This volume offers an enlightening explanation of copyright and the ambiguous concept of fair use as they affect and are affected by higher education. In the first large-scale study of its kind, Kenneth D. Crews surveys the copyright policies of ninety-eight American research universities. His analysis reveals a variety of ways in which universities have responded to—and how they could better manage—the conflicting goals of copyright policies: avoiding infringements while promoting lawful uses that serve teaching and research. He explains in detail the background of copyright law and congressional guidelines affecting familiar uses of photocopies, videotapes, software, and reserve rooms. Crews concludes that most universities are overly conservative in their interpretation of copyright and often neglect their own interests, adding unnecessary costs and obstacles to the lawful dissemination of information. Copyright, Fair Use, and the Challenge for Universities provides administrators, instructors, lawyers, librarians, and educational leaders a much-needed exegesis of copyright and how it can better serve higher education.

Download or read book An Introduction to Fair Use and Copyright Management of Universities in India written by Sabuj Kumar Chaudhuri and published by Ess Ess Publication. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity and creative works are inseparable. Copyright is both positive as well as negative right. It facilitates further creations by the society in one hand and prevents others to use of creative works beyond a certain level in the other. World Social Science Report 2016 published by the United Nations clearly emphasised about prevalence of knowledge inequality in our society. This inequality is inevitable if we do not practise fair use of our knowledge. It not only hinders us to become a knowledge society at large but also seriously interfereswith our basic mission of higher education particularly in our universities. Advancement of learning and promotion of scholarship in higher education in developing countries like India clearly depends on effective use of the pre-existing copyrighted works. Even in the recent landmark judgement in September 2016, Delhi High Court also attested and upheld that view. This book identified the genesis and provisions of fair use in the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 with an international flavour. Fair use has always been considered as a grey area by legal pundits but this title has demonstrated that it can alsoact as an opportunity administering a safety valve to bring balance in the quest of interpretive certainty needed for the society for further advancement of knowledge over the existing ones. It goes on to deeper understanding of fair use with a How-To-Determine format to keep one in the right side of the law and analyse a plethora of national and international case studies. Academic community in a number of universities has been studied investigating their awareness regarding fair use of copyrighted resources and discovered a disturbing trend. This study calls for a balanced and well-knit copyright management policy. This volume scripted a copyright management policy for universities which is at present completely missing in India. This policy template can be of immense help in formulating such policy in neighbouring countries and other developing countriesas well. Keeping in view of that, this book also examined fair use provisions in the related acts in SAARC countries. With a comprehensive introduction adding a thorough understanding of fair use in Indian and in global context, this volume will be invaluable for faculty members, researchers and students of any discipline, staff and the whole creative community of any university. Concise but penetrating, An Introduction to Fair Use and Copyright Management of Universities in India will prove handy and practical to academia as a whole.

Book excerpt: "An invaluable resource giving librarians the tools to assess copyright issues, risks, and approaches both domestically and internationally." -Library Journal, Starred Review Finally: a plain-language guide to best practices for the complex world of copyright management in academic libraries. Copyright issues continue to perplex librarians and educators. The difficulties and confusion in applying the U.S. Copyright Act became especially apparent when Covid hit and many universities turned to remote learning as their primary method of instruction. Librarians and educators struggled with applying the law for both remote learners and students who were on site. This book provides advice on how to analyze and apply the copyright law to specific areas encountered by librarians and instructors. Coverage includes: Controlled digital lending is a very hot issue and confusing to many as to how copyright could apply in those situations remote learning do’s and don’ts’ is at the forefront of copyright concerns which was highlighted during the pandemic The application of copyright to music in light of recent changes to the U.S. Copyright Act has caused much confusion. Analysis of the new law and strategies on how to include music in a curriculum as well as how libraries can provide access and preservation of musical works. Open access initiatives have become increasingly popular. However, open access does not mean that there is no copyright attached to the works. The use of data is exploding as are the copyright issues associated with it. We will examine the issues and provide options. Written by Donna L. Ferullo, the Director of the University Copyright Office at Purdue University who holds both law and library science degrees and Dwayne K. Buttler, the Evelyn J.

Download or read book The Knowledge Gap written by Natalie Wexler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.
