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.

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!
