The University of Minnesota Libraries offer three different basic copyright workshops for the UMN community. Most are aimed at faculty, but may be open to participation by others. We also offer custom workshops on specific topics, or at specific dates and times, for University of Minnesota departments, workgroups, etc. RCR continuing ed credit is often available. Feel free to contact me to set one up.
If you're not affiliated with the U of MN, but would like to attend one of the online sessions just to listen in, contact me via email. I'll open reg as space is available, and will give preference to librarians looking to develop their own copyright knowledge (or teaching).
Here's the schedule!
Can I Use That?: Dealing with Copyright in Everyday Life
Quotation, criticism, review, collage, parody - Copyright presents some
big challenges in all of those situations! Participants in this workshop
will develop an understanding of the complexities of copyright by
exploring examples from visual arts, music, and video, as well as
academic research and writing. Expect to think hard, discuss a little,
and have fun! No direct legal advice will be provided; this workshop is
informational in nature.
Primarily intended for faculty, researchers, and graduate students engaged in the scholarly writing & publishing process. Satisfies RCR continuing education awareness/discussion requirements.
