I have been struggling with my role as a librarian in a profit institution, specifically with copyright issues. I found this presentation did provide a great overview and assessment in an hour, even more effective than some of the all day workshops I've attended.

An excellent introduction (or refresher) about the basics of copyright law for generalists who need to speak to clients about copyright compliance.

I appreciated the clarity and the unequivocal nature of the presentation, for relative newbies to copyright issues. Any further questions I may have will now be better grounded.
Thank you.

Basic enough for beginners, but sufficiently comprehensive to meet refresher-course needs of those for whom protection of their intellectual property is a matter of economic necessity.

The session on Copyright for Today's Academic World was excellent! Copyright information that can often be complex was presented in an easy to understand format. The presenters were very knowledgeable and there was time for a great Q & A's at the end. I would recommend this session to anyone wanting to learn copyright basics in an academic environment.
