Emerging Issues in Copyright and Intellectual Property for Public Libraries

Description:  
Copyright issues may be familiar territory to those working in academic libraries, but a discussion of copyright and intellectual property is not as common in the public library setting. Although it seems to play a background role in the services that public libraries perform, copyright law gives public libraries the legal standing to perform traditional services such as lending books. As public libraries begin to expand these traditional services to embrace digitization and makerspaces, for example, a thorough review of copyright will provide valuable insight into possible issues they may face.

This session will begin with a discussion of copyright law, especially where it directly mentions the services that public libraries provide. This discussion will also include a review of fair use and its relation to copyright. Next, the session will investigate how public libraries can approach copyright and other intellectual property issues through best practices as they offer new technologies and services such as makerspaces, digitization, and assistive devices.

About the Presenter:
Ben Bryson developed an interest in intellectual property issues while earning his M.S. in Library and Information Studies from Florida State University. He was able to further indulge this interest by participating in the Spring 2014 cohort of the CopyrightX course offered through Harvard Law School and the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. Ben currently serves as Assistant Director of the Marshes of Glynn Libraries. He previously worked at Coastal Pines Technical College (formerly Altamaha Technical College) as Assistant Director of Library Services and Reference & Instruction Librarian. He has led presentations on copyright at a variety of professional meetings and has assisted in the creation of institutional copyright policies and procedures.

Can't make it to the live show? That's okay. The session will be recorded and available on the Carterette Series Webinars site for later viewing.

Athens Technical College Library in the Spotlight!

Athens Campus Library is located on right side of Dr. Kenneth Easom Administrative Building.

Athens Technical College established in 1958, is a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia. Athens Technical College has served citizens by providing quality educational programs in a 10-county service area. It offers over 150 program specializations in business, health, technical, and manufacturing-related areas. The total enrollment for FY15 was 5,889 students, and there are 250 full time employees.

The College’s libraries are located at campuses in Athens, Elberton, Monroe, Greensboro, and at the Athens Community Career Academy. Services are provided by 3 librarians, 3 support staff, and 15 student assistants.  Holdings consist of 40,000 print volumes as well as the electronic resources of EBSCO ebooks (130,000 titles), Films on Demand (23,000 titles) in addition to the GALILEO databases.

The Library’s new makerspace, The TecknOWLogy Nest, is a lab and development space with software and equipment supporting 3D printing, multimedia design, mobile and game development, video production, coding/programming, electronics, and other technologies. The purpose of the TecknOWLogy Nest is to support and enhance learning by sparking students’ interest in emerging technologies. The name ties in “technology,” “know,” and “owl”—the college mascot. “Nest” gives students a safe space to learn and explore. The librarians are devoted to providing a welcoming environment for learning, teaching information literacy through interaction and collaboration, collection development to support Art to Welding curricula, and digitizing the college archives.

From cutting edge technology to old photos: the library is collaborating with the college’s Center for Teaching and Learning to digitize and make available old photos and other materials in GEAR, the Georgia e-Resources Archive and Repository.

To find out more, visit Athens Technical College Library website at http://library.athenstech.edu or contact Carol Stanley, Director of Library Services at cstanley@athenstech.edu or (706) 355-5020.
