The President's Choice session will present the Code of Best Practices published by the College Art Association in February 2015. This publication presents a clear set of guidelines about the responsible use of copyrighted materials by identifying instances in which the doctrine of fair use may be applied. The ARLIS/NA President and the Public Policy Committee Chair will welcome distinguished guests: Peter Jaszi, the principal author of the Code and a leading authority on copyright and fair use along with Anne Collins Goodyear and Maxwell L. Anderson, two other leading proponents of fair use in the museum community. A Q&A will follow the presentations.

The development of the Code was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation with additional support provided by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
