Apologies for cross-posting.  Please share this with those who may be
interested in the topic.



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, to fill a growing yet unclear need in
their organization, while retaining their other job responsibilities.

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 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.


Our speaker Emilie Algenio 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.



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.”
