Humanities Lecture: Patricia Aufderheide


Daily life at the university is rife with questions about when it is OK to use copyrighted material without permission or payment. This presentation discusses the copyright doctrine of fair use as it applies in academic life. The presentation will feature the “Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Research Libraries,” due for release in January, and will draw on the work synthesized in Reclaiming Fair Use: How to Put Balance Back in Copyright, by Patricia Aufderheide and Peter Jaszi.

Patricia Aufderheide is a full-time professor of Communication Studies in the School of Communication at American University in Washington, D.C., and director of the Center for Social Media.
