This video is a recording of a webinar put together by Karen Kitchens, the Intellectual Property Librarian at the Wyoming State Library. The State Library was inspired to host this webinar after receiving a surprisingly large number of questions about and requests for information regarding copyright law and libraries from across the state. It provides a thorough, yet basic and easy to understand overview of copyright law and fair use, and their implications and applications for librarians.

Funny and Informative
A Fair(y) Use Tale
Faden, Eric. (2007, May 18). A fair(y) use tale [Video file]. Retrieved from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJn_jC4FNDo&feature=player_embedded#!
This video was created as a tongue-in-cheek demonstration and statement upon how copyright works by Professor Eric Faden of Bucknell University. The irony in this video lies in the fact that all of the clips used are from Walt Disney films, the company notorious for pressuring lawmakers to extend the amount of time a copyright lasts. Despite it's obviously humorous stance and execution, it is still an accurate source. The format and presence of familiar, beloved characters adds an element of fun. Because the dialogue is pulled in bits and pieces--sometimes in only single-word clips--from a variety of films, it can sound a bit disjointed, so this video does require a bit of extra attention to follow, but is well worth the effort.
