== Fair Use Week == Fair Use Week is an international event that celebrates fair use and fair dealing.<ref name="FUW">{{cite web|title=About|url=http://fairuseweek.org/about/|website=Fair Use Week|access-date=November 18, 2015|archive-date=November 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151120173054/http://fairuseweek.org/about/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Fair Use Week was first proposed on a Fair Use Allies mailing list, which was an outgrowth of the Library Code of Best Practices Capstone Event, celebrating the development and promulgation of [[Association of Research Libraries|ARL]]'s ''Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries''. While the idea was not taken up nationally, Copyright Advisor at [[Harvard University]], launched the first ever Fair Use Week at [[Harvard University]] in February 2014, with a full week of activities celebrating fair use. The first Fair Use Week included blog posts from national and international fair use experts, live fair use panels, fair use workshops, and a Fair Use Stories Tumblr blog,<ref>{{cite web|title=Fair Use Week 2015|url=http://fairuseweek.tumblr.com/|access-date=November 16, 2015|archive-date=October 8, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241008080806/https://fairuseweek.tumblr.com/|url-status=live}}</ref> where people from the world of art, music, film, and academia shared stories about the importance of fair use to their community.<ref name=HarvardFUW>{{cite web|last1=Courtney|first1=Kyle K.|title=About Fair Use Week|url=https://blogs.law.harvard.edu/copyrightosc/about-fair-use-week/|website=Copyright at Harvard Library|access-date=November 18, 2015|date=February 24, 2014|archive-date=November 18, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151118195308/https://blogs.law.harvard.edu/copyrightosc/about-fair-use-week/|url-status=live}}</ref> The first Fair Use Week was so successful that in 2015 ARL teamed up with Courtney and helped organize the Second Annual Fair Use Week, with participation from many more institutions.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Clobridge|first1=Abby|title=Every Week Is Fair Use Week|url=http://newsbreaks.infotoday.com/NewsBreaks/Every-Week-Is-Fair-Use-Week-102531.asp|website=Information Today|access-date=December 29, 2016|date=March 10, 2015|archive-date=December 29, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161229172202/http://newsbreaks.infotoday.com/NewsBreaks/Every-Week-Is-Fair-Use-Week-102531.asp|url-status=live}}</ref> ARL also launched an official Fair Use Week website, which was transferred from [[Pia Hunter]], who attended the Library Code of Best Practices Capstone Event and had originally purchased the domain name fairuseweek.org.<ref name=FUW />
