UCCS Copyright Conference

Librarians are constantly confronted with copyright questions and issues in the routine execution of their duties. The UCCS Copyright Conference offers public, academic, and school librarians the opportunity to learn about U.S. Copyright Law and how it impacts the services we offer our patrons. In the morning, Dr. Kenneth D. Crews will lead sessions on:

  • The fundamentals of U.S. Copyright Law which every librarian needs to be familiar with
  • The copyright exemptions of fair use and section 108
  • Recent court cases which impact the services we offer our patrons

In our afternoon break-out sessions we will explore relevant copyright topics more in-depth.

Conference participants will develop a better understanding of the law and learn how to balance the rights of authors and creators with the needs of our patrons.

Our conference speakers have extensive knowledge and experience working with library copyright issues and have presented nationally and internationally on intellectual property topics.

The UCCS Copyright Conference is sponsored by UCCS Kraemer Family Library, with support from

  • Colorado College, Tutt Library
  • Colorado State University Pueblo Library, University Library
  • University of Colorado Denver, Auraria Library
