Best Practices for Academic Libraries

Donna L. Ferullo and Dwayne K. Buttler

"An invaluable resource giving librarians the tools to assess copyright issues, risks, and approaches both domestically and internationally." -Library Journal, Starred Review

Finally: a plain-language guide to best practices for the complex world of copyright management in academic libraries.

Copyright issues continue to perplex librarians and educators. The difficulties and confusion in applying the U.S. Copyright Act became especially apparent when Covid hit and many universities turned to remote learning as their primary method of instruction. Librarians and educators struggled with applying the law for both remote learners and students who were on site. This book provides advice on how to analyze and apply the copyright law to specific areas encountered by librarians and instructors.

Coverage includes:

  • Controlled digital lending is a very hot issue and confusing to many as to how copyright could apply in those situations
  • remote learning do’s and don’ts’ is at the forefront of copyright concerns which was highlighted during the pandemic
  • The application of copyright to music in light of recent changes to the U.S. Copyright Act has caused much confusion. Analysis of the new law and strategies on how to include music in a curriculum as well as how libraries can provide access and preservation of musical works.
  • Open access initiatives have become increasingly popular. However, open access does not mean that there is no copyright attached to the works.
  • The use of data is exploding as are the copyright issues associated with it. We will examine the issues and provide options.

Written by Donna L. Ferullo, the Director of the University Copyright Office at Purdue University who holds both law and library science degrees and Dwayne K. Buttler, the Evelyn J. Schneider Endowed Chair for Scholarly Communication at the University of Louisville, who also holds a law degree. Both Ferullo and Buttler have many years of experience advising their universities on copyright law.

About the Editors

About the Contributors

Editors Ferullo and Buttler offer a valuable guide to copyright management in academic libraries. Written by experts in the field, each chapter addresses different aspects of copyright within library environments, including a discussion of the international copyright system, remote learning, digital access, and the TEACH Act. The book excels in discussing fair use and the four key factors for court assessments, illustrated with real-life case examples. Fair use under U.S copyright law and its potential inapplicability in other nations are also helpfully addressed. Another highlight is the chapter on international copyright, which identifies issues for works crossing borders and suggests potential approaches for librarians. Conflicts of laws are considered, as well as how other nations’ laws may apply to a library’s collection and access. Direction is provided for assessing copyright, rights access, and risks domestically, internationally, physically, digitally, and remotely. Discussions about the Berne Convention’s principle of national treatment and the concept of a United States work are also instructive. An invaluable resource giving librarians the tools to assess copyright issues, risks, and approaches both domestically and internationally.


— Library Journal, Starred Review


Even experienced librarians can find copyright a broad, labyrinthine subject, and developing a single resource that addresses matters of copyright that are most relevant to libraries without getting bogged down in legal complexities is an immense challenge. Ferullo and Buttler have brought together essays written by professionals with extensive experience at the intersection of libraries and copyright. In addition to addressing longstanding concerns around topics such as fair use and archives—the latter a subsection of libraries that is frequently overlooked in reference materials—this book also looks at contemporary subjects that are on the verge of being very relevant for academic libraries, e.g., text and data mining. Among the collection's highlights are the numerous citations of court cases and valuable takeaways helpful for self-evaluation. Immensely useful for any institution, this convenient manual will be invaluable to those with concerns specific to their holdings, as well as an excellent textbook for library/information science courses that delve into copyright law. Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, professionals.


— Choice Reviews


Ferullo and Buttler have successfully convened highly experienced leaders and skilled experts in the copyright field to craft a book that fills a growing need. The chapters combine legal deftness with practical applications, revealing the complexity of the law while guiding librarians, archivists, researchers, and teachers through copyright challenges. This book is an essential reference for all members of the scholarly community who face copyright issues in their work, and it does so with style, grace, and a touch of humor.


— Kenneth D. Crews, Copyright Attorney, founder of the first university copyright office, and author of Copyright Law for Librarians and Educators (4th ed.).


Ferullo and Buttler have compiled an extremely useful--and usable--guide for librarians and educators attempting to navigate the intricacies of copyright law in the course of their daily activities. Short chapters written by subject-matter experts in plain English provide library and teaching professionals with the essential information they need to make judgments about the use of copyrighted works without overwhelming them. The book imparts practical suggestions on how to contend with a remarkably wide range of thorny questions.


— Jonathan Band, Counsel, Library Copyright Alliance


Here's the trusty guide to today's hot topics in copyright we have been waiting for, provided by some of the most well-informed and public-spirited legal experts. The authors in this book never forget librarians' mission, as they help us negotiate the legal thickets.


— Patricia Aufderheide, American University, co-author, Reclaiming Fair Use: How to Put Balance Back in Copyright


Copyright law impacts libraries and their patrons every day, but the law’s complexity makes it difficult to understand. Copyright: Best Practices for Academic Libraries breaks down this complexity by bringing together experts to explain issues in clear, concise terms, and to provide specific tips on how to use copyright law to further the mission of libraries, advancing the progress of knowledge.


— Greg Cram, Associate General Counsel and Director of Information Policy at The New York Public Library


In all of my work as a library administrator and scholarly communication librarian for the past 20 years, this particular book is the first to actually detail which legal cases set the precedents and the interpretations regarding various aspects of copyright in relation to higher education and libraries in recent years... I highly recommend this book for libraries and librarians looking for an understandable and concise explanation of copyright law for various genres and formats.


— Journal of Web Librarianship


Copyright: Best Practices for Academic Libraries offers readers a key resource for addressing this complex and growing information need... Though the text targets academic libraries, faculty and staff at all types of libraries and archives who seek to establish or improve their copyright services would benefit from consulting this volume. The work is best for beginner and intermediate copyright practitioners and can be used for both in-depth coverage and quick reference needs. Library schools in particular should consider it for their collections as a resource for their students.


— Technical Services Quarterly


Copyright: Best Practices for Academic Libraries addresses this problem. The information in the book is presented in a logical and interesting way, so that the reader will have no excuse to not know the basics of copyright law... Each essay is fun to read and easy to understand. Case information is given to illustrate the concepts and applications of copyright law that were discussed in the chapter, along with references for further information on the cases presented. Extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter allow the reader to dive more deeply into the subject of the essay if they so desire. Many of the chapters also include best practices and practical applications of the information on the copyright subject discussed in the chapter. COVID-19 implications are discussed when the subject addresses online copyright concerns, so the reader comes away informed about one of the largest influences on opinion about copyright applications.
