Abstract
  • This study describes the results of an email survey sent to 79 academic librarians at institutions of a similar level of research activity, designed to examine attitudes toward fair use and awareness of the Association of Research Libraries' recently published Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries. Results showed that slightly more than half of respondents had read the Code. Those who had read it were likely to agree that it was relevant and useful to their library's mission, but they did not report relying on fair use in copyright-related decision making at a higher rate than those who had not.
