Copyright issues pose many challenges for librarians. In an era when we rely increasingly on electronic materials while still making use of traditional resources, our picture of rights and responsibilities can get cloudy. In April’s American Libraries Live, a panel of experts will discuss challenges and offer strategies to help you navigate copyright in this rapidly evolving area. Please tune in Thursday, April 10 at 1 p.m. Central for this free, streaming video broadcast that you can view from your home, library or on-the-go.
The expert panel includes:
-
Rebecca Butler, author of Copyright for Teachers and Librarians in the 21st Century and Professor in the Department of Educational Technology, Research, and Assessment, College of Education, Northern Illinois University
-
Sandra Aya Enimil, Head of the Copyright Resources Center at The Ohio State University Library
-
Carrie Russell, , author of Complete Copyright for Kâ12 Librarians and Educators and Director, Program on Public Access to Information, ALA Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP)
-
Laura Quilter, Copyright and Information Policy Librarian at the UMass Amherst Libraries
