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 <http://fairuseweek.org/roundup-from-day-1-of-fair-use-week/>. You can also watch two great videos. The first is by Kyle Courtney <http://fairuseweek.org/fair-use-introduction-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 <http://fairuseweek.org/fair-use-week-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 <http://fairuseweek.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ARL-FUW-Infographic-r4.pdf>. Stay tuned for more celebration of fair use and fair dealing! Visit fairuseweek.org <http://fairuseweek.org> or follow #FairUseWeek2015 on Twitter for more. -- Krista L.
