• What Every Library Worker Should Know, October 9, 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. CST
  Every library story time, website space for blog comment, or film showing has copyright implications for library staff and for the institution. Get a firm grip on copyright basics to learn what's clear, what's not, and how to minimize risk. This webinar will cover the basics on identifying public domain materials, introduce viewers to the "library exception" that allows libraries to make replacement and preservation copies of materials and offer interlibrary loan, under certain conditions, and will provide a simple form to file with the U.S. Copyright Office to limit the library's exposure when patrons use library resources.
• Hot Issues in Copyright, October 30, 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. CST
  Ebooks, orphan works, and e-reserves have all been central issues in litigation. Get an update on cases and other pending copyright developments that affect libraries, users and access to information.
