[aisle] Ok to Read Aloud

I just finished attending a webinar about Fair Use and reading aloud.  It
was BRILLIANT!!
Here is the link to the document accompanying the webinar and it will soon
be updated with the URL for a YouTube recording of the entire session.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/15zf0ue6aWM-_TaxQG2eALP612-E_f7A6JtoqZKxaQlM/preview#

Basically, three takeaways:

   - I can read online any book, any portion of a book, etc. (but be
   careful about textbooks...see webinar for details) if you have a clear
   educational purpose. And as librarians, our educational purpose can simply
   be "to foster a love of reading" or "to create a sense of community among
   my students".  What I should NOT do is randomly read books on my YouTube
   channel just because I think the books are great.  I need to have a
*specific
   educational purpose* in mind. Basically, if I would use the book in the
   library, I can read the book online.
   - BEST practice is to make a recording that could be used on an LMS,
   Google Classroom, Schoolology, or any other limited or private
   distribution, but if Facebook or YouTube are the options that will allow my
   students to have access, then that is OK, too, because my educational
   purpose would be "to ensure ALL my students have access."
   - We do NOT need any sort of permission from publishers to do this.
   Period. We are covered by Fair Use no matter what "limitations" or
   "licensing" publishers have in place.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you read and/or watch this webinar.  It was
FANTASTIC and answered all my questions and cleared up misconceptions that
I had!
