In an increasingly copyrighted world, Fair Use makes it possible to develop critical thinking and communications skills that are essential for participation in 21st Century Life.

                                                                                               - Renee Hobbs

The poet’s eye, in fine frenzy rolling,

Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;

And, as imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen

Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing

A local habitation and a name.

William Shakespeare (Midsummer's Night Dream, Act V)
