> 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
