Hi All,
I wanted to share something that seems related to our activities of late in the WG. This week is Fair Use Week and organizations offer a set of online and in-person activities celebrating and exploring fair use. This year the activities are led by ARL - Association of Research Libraries -- and universities.

I thought you might be interested in these activities.  Below is a posting from ARL describing them...

Best
Kathy

Apologies for cross-posting

Hi All,

There were a lot of great posts from the first day of Fair Use Week 2015.  I've compiled a roundup of yesterday's posts.

You can also watch two great videos.  The first is by Kyle Courtney explaining some of the origins of Fair Use Week and Harvard's Copyright First Responders Network.  The second is by Fred von Lohmann and covers how fair use enables our everyday technologies.

Also, if you haven't seen it yet, check out, use, share, distribute, and post the Fair Use Fundamentals Infographic.

Stay tuned for more celebration of fair use and fair dealing! Visit fairuseweek.org or follow #FairUseWeek2015 on Twitter for more.
