I received the following from ALA's Washington office about a free copyright webinar on Tues., Dec. 4th. The book on which it is based is an excellent guide for not only educators but public librarians, too. I've been recommending it quite a bit. I hope you can set some time aside for this. I've included a tiny url in case the one included in the announcement gets lost in translation.

"Hello,
On Tuesday, December 4, 2012, the American Library Association's Washington office will host a copyright webinar for school librarians and educators, and we are hoping that you can share news of the free webinar with your contacts. We created the event because school librarians and educators have specific copyright questions that are often glossed over in larger books on the subject. The webinar will teach educators about the flexibilities and rights that they are afforded in school environments.
The American Library Association will host the interactive copyright webinar Complete Copyright for K-12 Librarians and Educators
