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.
