Tech Therapy: Do Professors Know Their Copyrights?

In the days of paper reserves, course materials could be checked to make sure they conformed to copyright laws, says Bill Shell, director of academic technology and computing services at Eastern Michigan University. But in the age of the Internet and course software, professors can post anything online, bypassing those old checks. Today many professors could be breaking copyright law and not know it.

In his appearance on this week’s Tech Therapy, Mr. Shell talks with Scott Carlson, a Chronicle reporter, and Warren Arbogast, a technology consultant, about how to make sure professors know their copyrights.

This short episode of Tech Therapy includes a preview of episodes coming in 2008 and information about how to appear on the podcast at The Chronicle‘s forthcoming Technology Forum.
