 Hi everyone. Welcome to Fair Use Week 2023. My name is Rina Pantoloni and I'm director of the Copyright Advisory Services Office at Columbia University Libraries. But I also chair the advisory board of a new education initiative called Ocean, the Open Copyright Education Advisory Network, which is targeted to professionals working in cultural heritage institutions, that is libraries, archives and museums and other cultural institutions. And the purpose of Ocean is to foster conversation, discussion and learning about the interaction between copyright and our mission driven activities. You know, we learned a lot as a result of the experiences we've all lived through over the course of the last few years that access and preservation activities are really dependent upon understanding the rights and interests associated with the materials and objects that we're working with on a day to day basis. This is incredibly true when trying to facilitate access remotely during what was a pandemic and in circumstances where it is not possible for our patrons and our visitors to access the collections that we steward because of all sorts of reasons. And so as a result, we started Ocean as a new educational program and initiative so that those of us who work on preservation and access activities in our institutions can better understand through interaction, through comparison, how it is that we manage these incredibly complex copyright issues associated with our activities. Fair use is a staple. It is the way in which we are able to preserve and provide access to so many of our collections. Our knowledge and our understanding about fair use is really important to how we do our day to day business. And for that reason, I encourage, I'm here to talk to you today about engaging in fair use professional development and education so that we can continue to understand how better to achieve our mission-driven activities. This is now becoming increasingly important as we are so dependent on social media and new technologies that are enabling us to meet mission and bring our collections to where our visitors and patrons are. The issues that we're facing concerning fair use are both national and their global and it is only in fostering ongoing discussions about how to apply fair use that we will achieve a robust understanding of how to develop next steps and how to develop processes by which we are able to achieve our objectives within our own institutions and most importantly meeting the objectives and the needs of our patrons and visitors. So please log on to our website oceancopyright.org and check out our programmatic activities. We have recordings of past workshops and we host discussion series events every semester where we all jump on Zoom and talk about subjects that are increasingly vexing and complex with a group of panelists who are experts in the field and are willing and able to answer questions live during one hour blocks of time and most importantly these events are free to all of us in the community. We only ask that you register to attend. So on that note I wish everyone a happy fair use week and I hope to see you at ocean events in the near future. Thanks.
