Webcast Title: "BORROWING" GRAPHICS OR TEXT FOR LIBRARY WEB PAGES:   
FAIR
PLAY, AND FAIR USE
Date: March 3, 2005 
Time:  Noon - 1:00pm PST
Description: Libraries seldom have generous graphic arts budgets, and
it can
be hard to give your Web pages that extra sparkle.  When is it OK for
a
library to borrow graphics and text from other Web sites? This Webcast
guides you through a handy flowchart that helps you identify what is in
the
public domain, gives you a sense of what qualifies as "fair use," and
offers
sample permission forms that can be emailed to Webmasters.
