From: "KRISTOF, CYNTHIA" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2017 22:22:00 +0000 Mark your calendars for the February 2 CopyTalk, “Open Access Piracy: Sci-Hub and #icanhazpdf as Resource Sharing.” http://www.districtdispatch.org/2017/01/upcoming-webinar-uneasy-sharing-aka-piracy/ Many of you have probably heard about the infamous SciHub website that provides free access to costly scholarly journals that libraries often buy. Our speakers will discuss the use of popular resource sharing methods like SciHub that may violate copyright and database terms of service, including what these users think of the potentially copyright infringing action that they take. This webinar will include a review some empirical evidence that places these non-library resource sharing methods in context with their legal library counterparts. What motivates people who engage in this resource sharing? Do they have access through libraries? And what are the implications for libraries? Date: Thursday, February 2, 2017 Time: 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 11:00 a.m. Pacific Duration: One hour Go to http://ala.adobeconnect.com/copytalk and sign in as a guest.
