Are you a librarian who teaches about copyright and fair use in the visual arts? Do you have a lesson plan that integrates the
CAA Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for the Visual Arts? Do you teach students to understand fair use around images, art, film, design or media?
The editors of the forthcoming open access e-book,
Fair Use in the Visual Arts: Lesson Plans for Librarians, to be published as part of the ARLIS/NA occasional paper series, are seeking submissions of lesson plans around copyright and fair use in the visual arts by librarians. We encourage a wide range
of lesson plan topics from copyright and fair use introductions to classes integrating fair use with visual literacy or ethics. We are looking to include a range of lesson plan lengths as well, ranging from short 15 minute intros to embedded instruction that
takes place over several sessions.
Example themes or topics that Lesson Plans might focus on:
Please submit a brief abstract (100-200 words) to
[log in to unmask] by May 15th. Please be sure to mention the context of the lesson (such as audience, time allotted, etc.) as well as brief learning objectives. Please ensure that your lesson
plan reflects current fair use practices, especially those outlined in the Fair Use Best Practices Documents (http://cmsimpact.org/program/fair-use/).
Deadlines and Schedule for accepted Lesson Plans
