We have another cool CopyTalk planned for February 1! Mark your calendars
for 2:00 pm Eastern/11:00 am Pacific time for our one-hour session on the
Copyright Librarian Starter Kit.

Many librarians are finding themselves in the position of being the local
copyright expert. Some of these librarians are professionals who applied
for a formal copyright librarian posting. However, other librarians are
tasked with taking on copyright, in order to fill a growing yet unclear
need in their organization, while retaining their other job
responsibilities. Emilie will share what she has learned in her first years
of service, in her full-time librarian position as the Copyright/Fair Use
Librarian for an American research university.

The purpose of this webinar is to help other incoming copyright librarians
know what to expect, and to prepare them with a basic knowledge base of
user needs, in order to ease into them into their new role. This CopyTalk
will provide specific guidance, and include “hands on” best practices. A
sample of the topics covered are finding collaborators within and beyond
the library, how to start building the foundation for an education program,
understanding what advocacy looks like, and getting a handle on the kinds
of questions a Copyright Librarian answers.

Emilie Algenio is the Copyright/Fair Use Librarian for the Texas A&M
University Libraries, and she focuses on copyright education and outreach.
She recently co-presented on their program for graduate students at the
International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions’ annual
meeting in Poland. She started her career as the Library Resident at the
University of Massachusetts Amherst, followed by her position as the
Consortia Resources Coordinator for the University of Texas System
Libraries. Emilie graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Guilford College,
has a Masters of Library and Information Science from Simmons College, and
is a 2014 graduate of Harvard University’s “CopyrightX.”
