fyi: *“Standards and Strategies for Fair Use Decisions inside Libraries and Universities: **Law, Interpretations, Best Practices, and Risks”* The meaning of “fair use” of copyrighted works is famously subject to variable interpretations.**** That flexibility is an opportunity to engage fair use for new and unexpected needs, yet the law’s**** unsettled nature is also a challenge for librarians, educators, and lawyers who must give it**** practical and reliable meaning. This conference goes beyond the question “What is Fair Use?”**** It is instead about the means for making fair use decisions in an environment of unresolved law**** and changing needs and technologies. A new report on “Best Practices in Fair Use” for libraries**** (from the Association of Research Libraries) is compelling a reexamination of how an institution**** might draft policy and make responsible fair use decisions when the legal answer is seldom clear.**** Presenters will offer an extraordinary range and depth of experience with making fair use**** decisions for research, teaching, publishing, and other pursuits that are central to the academic**** community.**** * * *When:* *Tuesday, March 27, 2012***** Coffee and other morning refreshments available at about 8:30 am.**** Convene at 9:15 am.**** Adjourn by 12:30 pm.**** Detailed schedule below.**** * * *Where:* Faculty House, Columbia University.**** About the Faculty House: http://facultyhouse.columbia.edu/**** Presidential Room #1 on 3rd Floor.**** Campus Map: http://www.columbia.edu/about_columbia/map/**** * * *Schedule and Presenters:* 9:15 am**** Call to order by Kenneth D.
