| Class Description | Once a legal backwater that interested only specialists and attorneys, copyright law issues are now considered central to the nation’s information infrastructure. With the advent of digital technologies, copyright law has become more complex than ever, as longstanding rules and concepts have now been questioned amidst the advent of TiVo, Napster, Kazaa, and the DVD. This course is designed to provide information professionals with a firm foundation in the fundamental rules of American copyright law, and will equip such professionals with the tools to make informed decisions about copyright issues that occur in the workplace. While the course is optimized for librarians and library science candidates, its content is relevant for information professionals working in any field.
