Copyright for Librarians - the essential handbook

If you are interested in a free book about copyright, the EIFL has issued one in PDF format at no cost. The download link is: http://www.eifl.net/system/files/201301/cfl_book_download.pdf

The announcement is below.

"Copyright for Librarians" (CFL) is an online open curriculum on copyright law that was developed jointly with Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society.

Re-designed as a brand new textbook, "Copyright for Librarians: the essential handbook" can be used as a stand-alone resource or as a companion to the online version which contains additional links and references for students who wish to pursue any topic in greater depth.

Delve into copyright theory, understand the public domain or explore enforcement. With a new index and a handy Glossary, the Handbook is concise reading for librarians who want to hone their skills in 2013, and for anyone learning about or teaching copyright law in the information field.”
