Copyright literacy is essential for all undergraduates, regardless of their background or prior educational experiences, ensuring an equal chance of success in their academic and professional lives. Academic librarians are often expected to provide copyright instruction to undergraduates. However, previous research indicates that many librarians lack the comprehensive training, experience, and confidence to do so. This study aims to improve this situation by introducing practical, ready-to-use lesson plans that help academic librarians build confidence and be poised to teach this important topic, both to themselves and their student patrons.
