ALCTS webinar: Copyright and Contracts: Moving Beyond Text in IRs

Date: January 26, 2011

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.

Description: As the content in institutional repositories expands to include media, data and other format types, concerns over copyright also swell. Moreover, with institutions using social media sites such as Flickr and YouTube to highlight the institution's intellectual output and collections, the contractual terms of these sites also need to be considered. This webinar will allow attendees a chance to navigate the legal landscape of IRs with creative content, and intends to include time for audience Q&A.

Audience: All those who have implemented, or are considering implementing, an institutional repository.

Presenter: Lisa Macklin is the Director, Libraries Intellectual Property Rights Office for Emory University. Lisa received her library degree from the University of South Florida and her law degree from Georgia State University. Lisa focuses on copyright, licensing and scholarly communication issues, working with faculty and students on the application of copyright law to teaching, research and publishing. Her interests include transformations in scholarship and publishing, including new models of scholarship in digital form and the Open Access movement.
