Have you ever wondered whether you are allowed to use someone else’s work? Or whether you have a copyright in a work that you have created? If you are not entirely sure how copyright works, this is the workshop for you. Sip some coffee as we discuss the basics of copyright law in the US. This 90-minute workshop from Yuanxiao Xu of the U-M Library Copyright Office will cover copyright concepts from the public domain to fair use. All are welcome.
