Fair Use Week
Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week is an annual celebration of the fair use and fair dealing doctrines in international copyright law and their support of the public good. In the United States, 17 U.S. Code § 107 provides that "use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."
For more information about copyright or fair use and their implications at UNCW, check out this LibGuide or this webpage from UNCW's General Counsel, and/or contact our Open Knowledge & Research Impact Librarian at the links below.
