Public Domain and HathiTrust
As of January 1 each year, a new set of copyrighted works enter the U.S. public domain. In other words, their copyright expires and they become free for all to use. In 2023, these works included Virginia Woolf’s To The Lighthouse and the final Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, the German science-fiction film Metropolis and Alfred Hitchcock’s first thriller, compositions by Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller, and a novelty song about ice cream.
Learn about copyright, public domain, and how HathiTrust helped to make many works still under copyright available for remote use during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Join us for the Friday Finish!
Students, do you often end the weekend with the "Sunday Scaries" – worried about what you need to get done before Monday? Stave off those scaries by joining us on Fridays in the Wells Library: one place to make the grade!
Every Friday from February 3 until Spring Break, stop by from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to find your perfect study spot, research and assignment consultations, peer coaches, and academic advisors as well as always-available services like poster printing, Writing Tutorial Services, and the UITS Help Desk.
And of course we'll serve up supersized study breaks throughout the day! Donuts and coffee in the morning, pizza at 1:00, and a variety of special food bars at 3:00 will fuel your motivation for free. There'll be table tennis, yard games, and surprise guests. Wrap up your week and find that finish line with IU Libraries!
Grant to Support 16mm Film Celebration
Indiana University Libraries’ Moving Image Archive and The Media School at IU Bloomington are celebrating a $100,000 grant from the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation to support A Century of 16mm: Expanding the Possibilities and Extending the Reach of Cinema.
Throughout 2023, IU organizers will present a series of public events to mark the 100th anniversary of the introduction of non-flammable 16mm safety motion picture film, first developed and marketed by Eastman Kodak in 1923.
The statewide project is led by Rachael Stoeltje, Associate Librarian and Director of the Moving Image Archive, and Greg Waller, Provost Professor of Cinema and Media Studies in the IU Media School.
