Fair Use Week will take place later this month (February 22-26). One of the week’s goals is to promote greater awareness of issues related to fair use, including the fair-use doctrine, which has changed considerably over the past 40 years. To this end, the next webcast in the “ACRL Presents” series will cover how the four fair-use factors have taken on a new importance because of modifications to the doctrine, even though the language of the factors themselves has not changed much since the 1800s. The webcast, titled “The Fair Use Factors: Their History and Application”, will take place from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CST on Thursday, February 25. Participants will learn about the history of fair-use factors and subfactors, particularly as they relate to such issues as publication status and commerciality. In addition, attendees will become familiar with the recent changes to the fair-use doctrine and how these changes have affected current fair-use law. Participants will then have the opportunity to apply what they have learned to hypothetical scenarios.<\/p>\n
