Copyright knowledge is one of those things for me that is in the category of "Use It or Lose It." I am often guilty of wanting to put my hands over my ears and sing "LA LA LA LA" to stay ignorant of what people are doing with the articles that they request once I order them.
Other times, I just arch my back and hiss "That would be copyright infringement!" as a gut reaction. Then after I think about it and review the wording of the law and guidelines, I often think that I may have overreacted... Just maybe.
Today I discovered this very informative video from the Copyright Clearance Center. They managed to keep it short (7 minutes), informative (not confusing), and interesting (Mostly because they didn't skimp on production. It features high-quality, good looking animation.)
Next time you get stuck on a simple copyright question check it out:

About The Saucey Librarian
- .molly
- Molly, aka the Saucey One, is just getting her feet on the ground as an elementary school librarian. Previously, she was a coordinator for a library's early literacy program to give books to over 17,000 children a month, and before that, a medical librarian for a national non-profit consumer health organization. She loves her patrons because she never knows what is coming next. They seem to love her because she helps them locate information that can change their life, help their project, make them laugh, or sometimes have a good cry. It doesn't get much better than that. Also, she doesn't usually refer to herself in the third person.
