Fair Use

In a training session yesterday, questions were raised once again about legal use of copyrighted materials in education. Our Director of Library Services, Dr. Robert Burkhardt, shared this with me on the subject. I think you'll enjoy this brief You Tube video about fair use law.

Recommended Book - Wikinomics

At the Wimba 2008 Connect conference, many people were discussing "WIKINOMICS: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everthing" by Tapscott and Williams (ISBN-13: 978-1591841388). The book explores mass/global collaboration and what it means for business and technology. It includes success stories from a number of major companies and describes methods for exploiting the power of collaborative production.
