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.
