I'm Laura Quilter, the Copyright and Information Policy Librarian at the UMass Amherst Libraries. I educate the campus community on copyright and related matters through workshops and consultations. Although I'm an attorney, I'm not your personal attorney, and I don't offer personalized legal advice -- but I believe that individuals can understand enough about copyright to answer their own questions in most instances.

I earned my law degree from UC Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Law in 2003, with a concentration in technology law; I earned my library science degree from the University of Kentucky in 1993. I also teach "Intellectual Freedom" at Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science, and teach copyright and computer law in the Legal Studies at UMass Amherst.

For more information, see my website at http://lquilter.net/ , or follow me at @lquilter at Twitter or (very occasionally) at LauraQuilter at Google Plus.
