The Copyright X Course is taught by professors at Harvard University and is available synchronously to a limited number of librarians each year. However, the entire course content is available online and is openly licensed. This is a more traditional course on copyright and includes topics that would largely be discussed in a law classroom, such as theories underlying copyright law, cultural theory as it applies to copyright, and secondary liability for copyright. The course also covers many traditional areas of copyright, though, including basic foundations of copyright law, the different rights included with copyright (such as the right to reproduction, distribution and performance), and, of course, fair use. Included in the course are video lectures and lecture slides.

This is a full length monograph aimed at helping libraries, archives, and museums navigate copyright law involving digitization. In the course of the book, though, the authors helpfully unpack many areas of copyright law including Section 108 of the Copyright Act, Fair Use, Licensing, and Risk Management. It is a great primer on copyright law and includes many helpful key points, flowcharts and timelines.
