In this four-minute video, Greg Cram of the New York Public Library discusses NYPL's application of the principles of fair use.

Greg Cram, associate director of copyright and information policy at the New York Public Library (NYPL), explains how NYPL utilizes the Code in support services and how, for example, the library used the Code in determining whether to digitize a large collection of materials from the 1939–1940 New York World’s Fair. An educational curriculum has been built around this collection and it is widely used in New York City schools. The materials have also been used in a free app, Biblion, that Apple named one of the best education apps of 2011.
