Dear all – I hope this ALA-hosted webinar will be of interest to some of you:

“Introducing the Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use of
Collections Containing Orphan Works for Libraries, Archives, and Other
Memory Institutions”

Thursday, December 4 at 2:00pm

Peter Jaszi (American University, Washington College of Law) and David
Hansen (UC Berkeley and UNC Chapel Hill) will introduce the “Statement
of Best Practices in Fair Use of Collections Containing Orphan Works
for Libraries, Archives, and Other Memory Institutions.” This
Statement, the most recent community-developed best practices in fair
use, is the result of intense discussion group meetings with over 150
librarians, archivists, and other memory institution professionals
from around the United States to document and express their ideas
about how to apply fair use to collections that contain orphan works,
especially as memory institutions seek to digitize those collections
and make them available online. The Statement outlines the fair use
rationale for use of collections containing orphan works by memory
institutions and identifies best practices for making assertions of
fair use in preservation and access to those collections.

There is no need to pre-register! Just show up on December 4, at 2pm
Eastern time. http://ala.adobeconnect.com/copyright/
