your paper online? Can someone else quote from your paper in their own?

copyright law that are essential to scholarship, teaching, and research.
Learn more about protections in the law for educators, and about your

some of the burning questions in the field, and enjoy exploring some
entertaining and thought-provoking examples. No direct legal advice will
be provided; this workshop is informational and educational in nature.
