Library Journal Review

This new and updated edition of Talab's Commonsense Copyright (1986) highlights recent copyright legislation and the impact of current copyright protection on new technologies. The text includes an entire section on "Computer-Based Systems" detailing copyright and electronic publishing, educational multimedia, distance learning, and the Internet and World Wide Web. The accurate, well-organized guide describes the legal and ethical "fair use" of copyrighted materials and provides the librarian and the educator with an excellent resource for dealing with current copyright issues. Talab's discussion of "fair use" balances the rights of an author with the rights of libraries, archives, and nonprofit educational institutions to duplicate copyrighted print and nonprint materials. An associate professor of education at Kansas State University, Talab has served twice as chairperson of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology's copyright committee. Recommended for all professional collections.ÄMaryAnn Kitchens, Dallas P.L. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
