Don’t forget to join us this Thursday, April 6th, for a CopyTalk
webinar with Kyle K. Courtney, Copyright Advisor at Harvard
University. Kyle will be discussing his innovative copyright service
model starting at 2 p.m Eastern.

Kyle Courtney of Harvard University’s Office for Scholarly
Communication describes how library patrons, faculty, students and
staff need more guidance than ever on copyright matters on issues such
as fair use, open access, MOOCs, repositories and digitization. These
questions are arriving at the library with greater frequency and Kyle
believes a modern, 21st century library should be equipped to answer
such questions.

The Copyright First Responders (CFR) program has developed the first
decentralized model of copyright expertise in an academic setting,
relying on a hub-and-spoke model to answer questions from the
communities associated with certain libraries. The librarians — each
with their own focus, specialty, degrees and training — are in the
best position to be trained to answer copyright questions from their
respective communities. Therefore, copyright training should be
layered on top of that subject expertise and result in a systemic
shift in copyright knowledge thought the academic setting – the
library becomes the focus of copyright inquiry and policy. The
presentation will reveal the examine the types of copyright questions
received, note the thematic uniformity of large copyright questions,
present success metrics on questions answered, lessons learned, and
share best practices in creating a CFR program.
