Copyright Across Borders March 23, 2022 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. ET
Managing copyright is a key responsibility of caring for collections, and it is critical to understand that copyright is an issue that affects registrars and collections specialists on a cross-global scale. The webinar will begin with a brief practical introduction to copyright law, but will focus on copyright in an international setting.
The panelists will discuss the public domain, and fair use/fair dealing, and delve into copyright conundrums in collections acquisitions and exhibition management in various regions of the world. Attendees will be presented with resources, methodologies, and examples to navigate the various licensing options and ever-changing uses affecting collections stewardship.
The webinar will conclude with a longer than usual Q&A session, roughly 20 minutes in length, to address questions, concerns, and doubts from the attendees.
