"THE TEACH ACT: NEW COPYRIGHT RULES FOR ONLINE DISTANCE EDUCATION"
Sponsored by the Community and Junior College Libraries Section and the College and University Section

The Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act of 2002 is an effort to update copyright law as it applies to the transmissions of performances and displays of copyrighted works, particularly during digital distance education efforts. TEACH provides specific exemptions for some educational uses of copyrighted works during digital transmissions, but there are some requirements that must be met in order to qualify. Informed and conscious choices are a priority in making decisions about the selection and transmission of copyrighted materials.

Speaker: Peggy Hoon, J.D., Scholarly Communication Librarian at North Carolina State University Libraries’ Learning and Research Center for the Digital Age.
