N2  - An  “unconference”  is an attempt by librarians and other professionals to work  outside of the traditional conference model. Presenters  are encouraged to break out  of traditional modes of presentation and try new methods of engaging with the  participants. We submitted an idea for a session focused on  demystifying  domestic  and international copyright law and discuss ing  how the law affects l ibraries and  archives. Modern librarianship demands at least a basic understanding of copyright  and intellectual property issues, and librarians have reported that they lack training  and knowledge in this area. We determined that we did not want to present  a formal  lecture on copyright in libraries, especially given the freedom and intellectual  experimentation encouraged by an unconference setting. Instead, we determined  that the best way to present copyright principles would be to share examples of  real -life scenarios with the participants and assist them in applying the principles of  copyright law to those situations. W e hoped that participants would build  confidence in their ability to respond when copyright issues arose at the workplace.  This paper outli nes the approach we took to prepare and present this  unconventional session, and  it includes  an assessment of the results.
