New Copyright Information & Help Site for UM
A few months ago the University Libraries Copyright Office had a series of informational meetings and focus groups relating to copyright and intellectual property. Several faculty from the School of Dentistry participated in these, so you might also be interested in seeing the fruit that has come from those initial discussions.

The University of Michigan Library's Intellectual Property Specialists are pleased to announce the launch of a completely overhauled U-M Copyright website. This new site will better serve the U-M community by providing basic and practical information on copyright, and by directing users to trustworthy resources both on the web and at the Library.
The revised site is full of new content, and has been redesigned to improve accessibility and help users understand the increasingly complex world of intellectual property. The goal of the site is to provide straightforward information and clarification on the issues most relevant to scholars, researchers, staff, and students. It offers guidance on questions such as: What works are protected by copyright and which ones are not? How do you request permission to use a resource? What are the current legal battles about file sharing about, and how do they affect U-M users? What are our rights and responsibilities regarding copyright?
The site provides useful links to other U-M offices that handle copyright issues, copyright information from other universities, and the United States Copyright Office's website. Links to sites that promote online intellectual freedom are also featured.
