PHI | Copyright & Digital Projects

Are you working on producing a public-facing digital project, or are you planning to use digital tools to analyze a text or image corpus? If so, this event is for you! Kate Dickson, Duke's Copyright Librarian, will review copyright, fair use, and the public domain as they apply to digital materials of all kinds: digitized archives, newly recorded interviews, images from museums all over the world, literary works, to name just some. She will also advise from a copyright perspective on some best practices for selection of digital tools-including AI tools--and planning in advance for permissions and research replicability. Grounded in the most up-to-date legal information based on recent and current court cases, this talk will also address related ethical and privacy issues, especially in the use of traditional and community knowledge. The examples in this talk are geared especially to researchers in the humanities and interpretive social sciences, but the information applies to science and medicine research, too.

Lunch will be served, and bring your questions for the Q&A session to follow the talk.
