Crews, Associate Professor, IU School of Law*Indianapolis, and IU School of Library Science, Director of the Copyright Management Center. The copyright and fair use issues associated with works of art, photographs, and other visual images are highly problematic. Yet many of us at Indiana University regularly work with visual images in our teaching, research, and other duties. Libraries have maintained slide collections for many years. Faculty members are mounting images onto websites for their classes. Archives and special collections seek to preserve visual images in many formats. Historians depend upon the use of photographs and art for their scholarly work. These are only a few of the many ways that visual images are important in the work at Indiana University. But the copyright implications of the ownership and fair use of visual images are complex and sometimes bewildering. This session is an opportunity to develop an analytical perspective on these issues and to explore possibilities for how we may best advance our teaching and research objectives in the context of existing copyright law. We will also discuss the proposal for a new fair use policy at Indiana University*and what it means to you.
