Copyright Reminder
Copyright is ingrained in daily campus life, and it is critical that all Stanford faculty, students and staff have a working understanding of copyright law and its impacts. The 2013 edition has been dramatically redesigned, not only to align with the libraries’ new website, but also to bring in new content, including case studies (digital theses and MOOCs) that highlight common copyright issues on campus.
