The Copyright First Responders (CFR) program trains librarians, archivists, museum staff, and other cultural institutional employees in an immersive-style program emphasizing practical copyright law. The CFR program empowers the individual CFR participant to develop a shared understanding of copyright in teaching, learning, and scholarship, in their own communities.
The program is led by Kyle K. Courtney who is the Copyright Advisor for Harvard University, working out of the Office for Scholarly Communication. The CFR system has spread beyond its origins at Harvard Library to reach libraries, archives, and cultural institutions in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington. OLIS held offered this workshop March-June 2022.
