LiTTech #31: ARL and Fair Use | This week on LiTTech: Addie and Emily talk about the Association of Research Librarians’ (relatively) new Best Practices on Fair Use: 8 guidelines for libraries that give an idea of what is OK and what is a copyright violation. While not an official legal document, it’s nice to have an idea of where other librarians think the line is. Show Host: Emily Thompson Show contributors: Adrienne Matteson Leave us some feedback!
