And faculty should remember that university counsel exists to advise & not to make decisions. But the real decision-makers, university administrators, also may put up barriers. Librarians may be helpful in the cause but it seems that some library directors will not take a strong stand on supporting fair use for fear of alienating upper-level administrators within the university. On a side note: here in Argentina, as surely is true in many countries, copyright is blatantly ignored as most readings are provided in course packs. Of course, that's because the readings simply are not available as books for purchase. “Fisher advises avoiding university counsel in these battles”
