community to educate, advise and support fair use in instruction and
research and serve as a library resource for university faculty for
copyright compliance issues related to fair use, course reserves,
citation management, streaming media, and other intellectual property
issues

• Maintain awareness of national and international issues, trends,
policies, legislation, and changes that may impact research and
scholarly communication

• Provide library instruction and consultations to students and
faculty in assigned areas as needed
