contents A Copyright Primer for Small Undergraduate Libraries Cottrell, Terry Copyrights Librarians College Libraries Library Role Guidelines Library Administration Library Policy Library Services Compliance (Legal) Information Sources Educational Practices Instructional Materials Educational Resources Campus librarians play a central role in conversations revolving around copyright compliance. The sheer volume of information provided within library physical and virtual spaces affirms the role libraries play in current copyright debates. Regardless of the function of librarians on any particular campus, it is important to confront the myriad of copyright issues on a college campus from a position of respect for the learner and the copyright owner. This article functions as a copyright primer which librarians can use to help formulate compliance strategies concerning copyrighted material. Other libraries are encouraged to use the primer as a departure point for developing their own philosophy and guidelines. At the University of St. Francis, emphasizing the user as a potential "reproducer" of content is one key to building an understanding of caution and care. The idea of "spontaneous" fair use is also a central and unique function of this primer.
