Copyright Knowledge
Librarians are mostly familiar and comfortable with traditional concepts and commonly-encountered scenarios
Copyright Knowledge
Librarians are less familiar with emerging and international areas
Copyright Resources
Librarians turn to familiar and readily-accessible resources, whether in-print, online, or in-person
Conclusions
Better understanding of copyright is needed
More Education in LIS Programs
Expanded Professional Development Opportunities
Clearinghouses and/or support from professional associations
Further Research Examine Knowledge rather than Perceptions
Look at copyright in practice
