Most people know librarians and educators have special rights under the copyright laws, but can they easily recite them?  Join the league of people who can!

Presented by WNYLRC’s “Ask the Lawyer” attorney, Stephanie Adams, this 90-minute, illustrated, live and interactive session will help you learn and remember the special rights of librarians, archivists, and educators.  We’ll cover the basics of copyright (what it protects), and then dive into how to use the exceptions built into the law to encourage the free flow of ideas, education, and scholarship.

Attendees will learn to rattle off the differences between Copyright Act Sections 106, 107, 108, 109 and 110–and explore the implications of those exceptions on issues like purchasing and licensing–in 90 fun and informative minutes.

To increase our interactivity during a time of isolation, attendees will have the opportunity to submit a question to be answered during this webinar during registration! In order to be considered, questions should be sent in by May 11 at 12PM.

Speaker: 
Stephanie (nickname: Cole) Adams is an attorney advising libraries, creative professionals, civic organizations, and higher education institutions as they build our culture. She first developed a deep connection to libraries working as a page, then clerk, at her hometown library in New Hartford, NY.

She is now the owner of her own practice, the Law Office of Stephanie Adams, PLLC, in Buffalo. Ms. Adams is admitted to practice in both the state and federal courts of New York (and you may be familiar with her work…Cole staffs WNYLRC’s “Ask the Lawyer” service).
