ALCTS Webinar: Copyright Issues for Growing Digital Collections
Wednesday, September 3 , 2014
Sessions begin at 11 am Pacific | 12 Mountain | 1 pm Central | 2 pm
Eastern and last about an hour.
Presenter will share experiences working with a legal services
department at an academic campus. After eighteen months of getting no
signed copyrights transferred to the university from authors and
copyright holders, she was able to convince the legal heads that what
was really needed was a form in which authors and copyright holders
would give them permission to digitize their works to share freely with
the world, but retain their copyright. Once they instituted their own
nonexclusive, royalty-free form, they were able to get permissions to
grow their digital collections by more than eight hundred articles and
books. Presenter will also cover how she located copyright holders and
will share the types of permissions she was successful in obtaining,
including heirs, government research authors, small publishing
companies, and individual authors.
Learning Outcomes
Attendees will get a new look at what used to be thought of as a
complicated process. The presenter will present a simplified process,
give good resources, and admit when something is beyond her knowledge or
experience. The best thing is not to be overwhelmed and have fun with
the process. Resources will include websites, electronic discussion
lists, and articles on best practices for universities, historical
societies, and museums.
Who Should Attend?
Digital librarians and archivists who work with gifts, copyright, and
digital initiatives.
Course Level & Prerequisites
Beginner and intermediate level; no prerequisites.
