Copyright Conundrums
Oct. 9 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.

Copyright raises many questions: What can I use freely? When do I need to get permission? What is covered by copyright? How do I protect my intellectual property? This workshop will provide an overview of U.S. copyright law in the academic setting and point the way to resources that help in making decisions and knowing when to seek legal advice.

Starting now, if we have an online version of a textbook, we’ll let you check out the paper copy just as you would any other book.
Previously, these books could only be used inside the library.
The only core textbooks remaining on 4 hour reserve behind the Circulation Desk are the ones that aren’t available online, or that faculty have specifically requested remain there.

The Health Sciences Library is pleased to announce that we now have a new bottle-filler drinking fountain that we've installed in response to requests. We hope you will enjoy the filtered water from the new fountain on the second floor of the library.

Sept. 25 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
