As formats in which information is delivered, accessed, and used evolve, how will our intellectual property laws impact our methods of providing library services, and even our ability to do so?

CORAL invites you to delve into issues surrounding academic libraries, copyright, and fair use with intellectual property attorney Gretchen McCord Hoffmann.  Gretchen, who has spent many years in both the legal and library professions, will provide an interactive workshop for CORAL members on October 10th at the University of the Incarnate Word.

She will address copyright issues for academic libraries, including digital content and streaming content, orphaned works,  support for distance learners, and the TEACH Act.  Depending on time and interests expressed, specific topics may include the Georgia State University law suit and the Google Books project and law suit.  Attendees will have the opportunity to work in small groups to discuss specific scenarios that may arise in our library settings.

Registration Closing Soon for Upcoming ACRL e-Learning events!

February 3, 2009 at 7:35 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

ACRL is hosting two upcoming, affordable e-Learning opportunities pertaining to plagiarism and copyright law.  Registration for these events will close soon, so reserve your spot today! Details for each event are below:

The Role of the Librarian in Combating Student Plagiarism
February 5, 2009 – 1PM CST

Webcast Description:
Like other educators, librarians are aware of the growing instances of student plagiarism and academic dishonesty that take place on college campuses. Librarians frequently anecdotally discuss discipline faculty’s revulsion toward the growth of student plagiarism that has seemingly grown in tandem with our society’s dependence on digital texts found on the Internet. We acknowledge that this problem is often an effective hook to convince reluctant faculty to bring students into the library for instruction.  However once we get these professors and students into our library classrooms, we typically have a hard time presenting curricular content that focuses on anti-plagiarism student learning outcomes and/or developing additional outreach techniques that can be included in information literacy outreach and instruction to both faculty and students.

Registration fees:
ACRL member: $50
ALA member: $75
CACUL member: Can$90 (charges will be made in U.S. dollars)
Nonmember: $90
Student: $40

Group: $295

For more details on this event, including registration, please visit http://www.acrl.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/proftools/courses/plagiarism.cfm

Copyright and the Library Part 1: The Basics Including Fair Use

Course Description:
In this course, students will learn to think in terms of U.S. copyright law. Students will focus on building understanding of current copyright law, creating a “copyright palette” for their libraries, and assessing a library’s legal risk with regard to current U.S. copyright law. Additionally, students will build an understanding of the Fair Use clause, as well as how to legally apply fair use in the library, classroom, and broader campus environments.

Registration fees:
ACRL member: $135
