Abstract
The transition from print to digital continues. The Copyright Act has changed a little, but not for the better. This book begins with the premise that copyright exists to promote the dissemination of information, and while creators have certain rights, so do users. This new edition updates every chapter and adds a new chapter on the library as a publisher. Also included is information on recent developments such as Creative Common licences and the use of digital video (e.g. YouTube) in the classroom.
Keywords: copyright, libraries, fair use, TEACH Act
