Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating the 1922 dedication of Frederick Douglass' home in Washington, DC as a National Historic site. The effort is led by Nannie Burroughs, Hallie Q. Brown and other members of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. Authors Rights: Navigating the Publishing Landscape - Tuesday, August 18th, 2:00 ET Librarians strive to assist and support faculty researchers in their scholarly endeavors. In today's technologically integrated society, researchers are facing new challenges brought about by a shifting technological landscape. New practices in digital scholarship have resulted in new publishing norms, often times invoking new legal implications. In order to better serve researchers, librarians must develop basic knowledge of copyright law and its applicability to shifting publishing sands. This webinar will focus on authors rights afforded by copyright law, providing librarians with basic knowledge and skills to effectively support researchers in navigating the changing publication landscape. Learning Outcomes Participants will be provided skills and knowledge to: - evaluate and negotiate author agreements - seek permission for use of copyrighted materials for publication Intended Audience 1.
