Booklist Review

Don't let the title fool you! This is really the revised and restructured Copyright Essentials0 (ALA, 2000). Crews addresses 18 areas of copyright in 5 parts. He begins with the scope of protectable works as well as works without copyright protection. Next, he discusses the rights of ownership, including duration and exceptions. He then explains fair use and its related guidelines. Part 4 focuses on the TEACH Act, Section 108, and responsibilities and liabilities. Lastly, Crews examines special issues such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Four appendixes provide provisions from the Copyright Act, checklists for fair use and the TEACH Act, and a model permissions letter. A guide to additional reading, cases cited, and an index complete the book. Add this title to Simpson's Copyright for Schools0 (Linworth, 2005), Hoffman's Copyright in Cyberspace 2 0 (Neal-Schuman, 2005), Carrie Russell's Complete Copyright 0 (ALA, 2004), and Rebecca P. Butler's Copyright for Teachers and Librarians0 (Neal-Schuman, 2004) for a completely up-to-date copyright-related reference section. --Esther Sinofsky Copyright 2006 Booklist
