ARL's "Know Your Copy Rights" website and campaign
From the ARL press release:
"The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has published Know Your Copy Rights™ – What You Can Do a brochure that gives faculty and teaching assistants in higher education an easy-to-scan explanation of when and how they can legally use intellectual property in their teaching, often without requesting permission or paying fees.
"Among the topics covered in the brochure are: fair use, the advantages of linking to instead of copying works, and special provisions for displaying or performing works in classes. It also includes a handy one-page chart that highlights 24 situations when various categories of works can be used.
"A broader Know Your Copy Rights™ campaign, aimed at helping librarians implement strategic copyright education programs on campus, will be rolled out by ARL in the coming months. It will include a Web site that helps librarians address copyright issues relevant to different groups across their institutions, including faculty, students, legal counsel, academic leadership, and library staff."
In addition to the brochure, the site also supplies a one page poster that distills some of the copyright provisions.

Heather passed along an article from August 2006 ARL Bimonthly Report that is, I think, worth reading. It's called "The Changing Nature of Intellectual Authority" by Peter Nicholson. Have a look.
