Librarians involved in distance education will want to read Tomas A. Lipinski's Copyright Law and the Distance Education Classroom. Lipinski, a lawyer and educator, explains how the 2003 legislation known as the TEACH (Technology Education and Copyright Harmonization) Act amended U.S. copyright law and how it will affect distance education. He discusses instructor ownership issues, fair use, excluded materials, new responsibilities for institutions, and the impact of changing technology as it relates to intellectual property.
