Abstract

Abstract: In addition to registering copyrights, the U.S. Copyright Office has many other responsibilities. These include, but are not limited to, providing educational information and tools to those creating copyrightable works and those looking to take advantage of exceptions and limitations found in the law. In an effort to help readers better understand the valuable resources and services provided by the U.S. Copyright Office, Whitney Levandusky, an attorney who serves as an advisor with the U.S. Copyright Office's Office Department of Public Information and Education, agreed to be interviewed for this column. Here, she tells us a bit about the history of the Office, its mission and purpose, and identify ways in which librarians and our patrons can connect with them to learn about the law and get involved with legislative revisions and updates
