Sources: Owning and Using Scholarship: An IP Handbook for Teachers and Researchers

Abstract

Digital technologies challenge the assumptions of preexisting legal regimes, even as they enable new modes of scholarship. Whether using others' intellectual works or disseminating and safeguarding their own, educators and scholars often navigate a morass of issues. This audience needs guidance that is sound in practice and concise yet robust in context. Drawing on his experience offering such guidance as the director of Copyright and Scholarly Communications for Duke University Libraries, Kevin Smith offers a handbook directed at achieving these ambitious aims.
