The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) is releasing an infographic that illustrates how fair use advances innovation, creativity, and scholarship, ultimately allowing new knowledge to be created and shared, in conjunction with the Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week 2018.
Fair use is an essential right under copyright law, supporting the constitutional purpose of copyright: to promote the progress of science and the useful arts. Where copyright law might otherwise act to prevent people from accessing knowledge, fair use permits everyone to use existing cultural and scientific material without permission, under certain circumstances.
The 'Fair Use Promotes the Creation of New Knowledge' infographic is freely available as a PDF to embed on blogs and websites and to print and hand out at events. This new infographic continues an ARL tradition of releasing an infographic in conjunction with Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week each year since 2015.
Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week is an annual, community celebration coordinated by the Association of Research Libraries to promote the opportunities presented by fair use and fair dealing, highlight successful stories, and explain these doctrines. Fair Use/Fair Dealing Week 2018 is being observed from February 26 - March 2.
