Q: What does copyright cover?

So what’s Fair Use?
• When you don’t need permission, based on a carefully weighed analysis of four factors:– Purpose of the Use– Nature of the work being
copied– Amount of the
copyrighted work being used

![Page 8: Fair Use and Digitization of At-Risk Items](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/549366c3b47959c6348b46d0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries
• arl.org/fairuse• Endorsed by library
associations• 8 “Principles”
![Page 9: Fair Use and Digitization of At-Risk Items](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070303/549366c3b47959c6348b46d0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Principle 3: Digitizing to Preserve At-Risk Items
• “It is fair use to make digital copies of collection items that are likely to deteriorate, or that exist only in difficult-to-access formats, for purposes of preservation, and to make those copies available as surrogates for fragile or otherwise inaccessible materials.”– But…

Limitations
• Not if a fully equivalent digital copy is commercially available at a reasonable cost.
• Don’t circulate both the original and the new one.
• Only loan to “authenticated members of a library’s patron community.”
• Provide full attribution.

Case 1: Replacing Damaged or Lost Videos
• Including “proactive preservation”• First, check the marketplace to purchase the
title in the newer format if available at a reasonable price.
• Use the copy the way the original was used.• Make copies as necessary/on request – no
“wholesale copying” of a collection.
