An ALCTS webcast.
Assessing who owns intellectual property (IP) has become a global obsession and often a necessity in the university and library communities, particularly for copyrighted works. The intense focus on ownership has not altered a longstanding concern about managing copyright: misunderstandings can obscure principles of using copyrighted works and sometimes produce wayward IP policies allocating ownership of copyright in problematic ways. This conversation addresses principles of copyright ownership under U.S. copyright law and identifies possibilities for managing copyright for IRs.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion attendees will understand the principles of copyright ownership under U.S. copyright law and be able to identify possibilities for managing copyright for IRs.
Who Should Attend
Anyone with an interest in the topic or need for the information.
