ABOUT THE WEBINAR
The Digital Age has spurred a number of disruptive innovations in
information dissemination and access that rely on fair use and teaching
exceptions in Copyright Law. Globalization has also provided means for
exchange of content that had not existed before. In response to these
innovations, publishers have filed several high profile lawsuits in an
attempt to protect their business models and regain control by stemming the
flow of these new delivery methods.
NISO's August 14 webinar, Copyright Decisions: Impact of Recent Cases on
Libraries and Publishers, will shed some light on these recent lawsuits and
discuss the ramifications the decisions may have on information flow now and
in the future.
SPEAKERS
. Laura Quilter - Copyright and Information Policy Librarian, University of
Massachusetts, Amherst

Research Libraries
. Skott Klebe - Manager of Special Initiatives, Copyright Clearance Center
