From: Leah Hinds <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, Oct 14, 2015 at 9:05 PM There is still time to register for the Charleston Seminar on Legal Issues in Libraries that will be held prior to the start of the 2015 Charleston Conference on Tuesday, November 3, from 9:00 - 4:00 pm, at the Francis Marion Hotel in downtown Charleston, SC. Librarians are faced with legal issues every day but, without knowing what to look for, it can be easy to miss or misunderstand them. Conventional wisdom that offers easy answers can be tempting, but it may provide a false sense of security. Even worse, by trying to follow rules we don’t really understand, we may unnecessarily impede the library’s ability to do good work. Through a series of discussions and group activities, this day-long session will prepare librarians to make informed, thoughtful decisions in key legal areas that are becoming ever more crucial in institutional settings. The seminar will be presented in partnership between the Charleston Library Conference and UNC Chapel Hill School of Library and Information Science. The session will be led by William Cross, Director, Copyright and Digital Scholarship at NCSU Libraries and Kevin Smith, Director of Scholarly Communications at Duke University; it will be moderated by Ann Okerson, Senior Advisor at CRL. The registration cost is $225 for the full day session.
