*CopyTalk: Are librarians confident assessing fair use?*


Published March 27, 2018 by Carrie Russell


Please join us on April 5th for “Assessing Librarians’ Confidence and
Comprehension in Explaining Fair Use Following an Expert Workshop”
presented by Sara Benson, Copyright Librarian at the University of Illinois.

Sara will discuss her study to measure both academic librarian confidence
and comprehension of fair use. The results, though limited in scope,
provide encouraging evidence that appropriate training, even on a
time-limited level, can help library professionals improve their knowledge
of fair use. Testing revealed that the level of confidence and
comprehension rose after the academic librarian participants were provided
with the three-hour fair use training. The survey results collected two
weeks after the training demonstrated that some librarians had the
opportunity to use the skills learned in the training workshop in their
daily work.

Sara Benson is an Assistant Professor and the Copyright Librarian at the
University of Illinois Library. She has a JD, a Masters of Law, and an
MSLIS and enjoys discussing and researching the many contours of copyright
as it impacts educators and creators. You can find her podcast (titled ©hat
or “Copyright Chat”) at library.illinois.edu/scp
<https://www.library.illinois.edu/scp/> or on iTunes.

Mark your calendars and set aside some time for this webinar. Thursday,
April 5 at 2 p.m. Eastern / 11 a.m. Pacific for our hour-long free webinar.
