"This book chronicles the history of the relationship between reserves and copyright and outlines several possible futures for course reserves in the year ahead, as libraries and publishers alike move from an information world that is still largely print-based towards one that no doubt will eventually be mostly electronic."--Introduction.

"Re-designed as a textbook, "Copyright for Librarians: the essential handbook" can be used as a stand-alone resource or as an adjunct to the online curriculum. With a new index and a handy Glossary, it is essential reading for librarians and for anyone learning about or teaching copyright law in the information field."--Publisher's website.

With the guidance of this book, academic librarians wishing to provide print, electronic, and streaming media (music and film) course reserve services for their campus communities can do so in compliance with U.S. copyright law. Many academic libraries offer print and electronic course reserve services that encourage learning by connecting students and faculty with less expensive and supplementary educational materials. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions regarding how U.S. copyright law affects course reserve services; as a result, many academic libraries restrict the scope of the services they provide or refrain from pursuing new options, such as media reserves, out of fear of violating the law or being sued for copyright infringement. Copyright and Course Reserves addresses this problem, providing authoritative advice for making print, electronic, and media course reserves available in compliance with U.S. copyright law. It explains options for implementing and sustaining media reserve services through which students and faculty can access online music, sound recordings, and film. Additionally, short examples from a wide range of libraries explore real-world scenarios and current issues related to course reserve services to help readers better understand and apply the information found in the book.
