Sharing this announcement about the Miami University Libraries’ series of free webinars on copyright topics. The “Surprising Power” one is mine — it will be a variation on the presentation about fair use and transformativeness I’ve given a couple of times around CUNY. So if you’ve been to one of those earlier presentations, this one may not be the best use of your time. A lot of the other presentations sound really good — and there’s a ton of expertise among the presenters!
