Description:
This live webinar, led by librarian and copyright expert Nancy Sims, offers a practical overview of U.S. copyright law for medical and health sciences librarians. It covers key topics such as fair use, public domain, permissions, licensing, and copyright ownership, with brief insights into international differences. The session also clarifies common misconceptions, like the idea that plagiarism is a copyright issue, and explains the difference between legal information and legal advice.
Designed for both beginners and experienced professionals, the webinar provides tools to apply copyright principles in library settings. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of copyright basics, ethical considerations, and licensed resources, along with practical materials to support their work.
