 \n\n\nDescription\n\nCopyright is an ever-present and constantly evolving 
 challenge for library staff. If you’re new to copyright\, it can be hard 
 to know where to start. In this event\, copyright librarian Sara Benson 
 will guide you through the basics.\n\nYou will learn about how a copyright 
 is formed\, when to register a work\, how to calculate copyright term 
 length\, library limitations and exceptions\, and fair use. The webinar 
 will include opportunities for the exploration of hypothetical situations 
 that come up in libraries as well as tools and resources librarians can use 
 to understand copyright.\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nAfter this webinar\, 
 participants will:\n\n\n	Understand basic copyright concepts\, including 
 copyright length and the public domain.\n	Know when Section 108 limitations 
 and exceptions apply to library digitization and lending.\n	Be able to 
 conduct a basic fair use analysis for library 
 work.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter\n\n\n\nSara R. Benson is the copyright librarian 
 and an associate professor at the Library at the University of Illinois at 
 Urbana-Champaign. She holds a JD from the University of Houston Law 
 Center\, an LLM from Boalt Hall School of Law at Berkeley\, and an MSLIS 
 from the School of Information Science at the University of Illinois. Prior 
 to joining the library\, Sara was a lecturer at the University of Illinois
