Webinar Recording: Considering Copyright during a Crisis
March came and went without a scheduled Zoom On In! However, on Friday 2 April, I participated along with Jill Hurst-Wahl and Kenneth D. Crews in a one-hour question and answer webinar organized by American Libraries (ALA) on Considering Copyright during a Crisis. Watch it here.
A second webinar on Considering Copyright during a Crisis is now scheduled for Friday 17 April 2 noon. Limited registration will open shortly. Please return to check when registration opens.
