When faculty, students, and colleagues come to you with legal questions and you suddenly find yourself in the thick of a copyright conundrum, you don't need pages of historical background information and long-winded legal explanations -- you need answers, fast. Previously included in Choice's Top 75 Titles and Resources for Community College Libraries, this bestselling book gives you just that, succinctly addressing common head-scratchers and scenarios in a way that you will lead you to accurate answers quickly. Ideal for on-the-fly reference, staff training, and LIS instruction, Benson's guide provides excerpts from the law itself alongside tools and suggested additional resources for digging deeper.
