DESCRIPTION
As institutional repository and
digital archives projects become both more common and more robust,
universities, museums, research institutes, and professional organizations rely
on librarians to develop more sophisticated knowledge of all aspects of these
projects. One critical piece of the
repository puzzle is determining how copyright law may impact the material that
can be included. Learn best practices
for the most common copyright issues confronted by librarians in adding content
to repositories and archives. Learn how
to consider non-exclusive rights, fair use, and contractual language in author
agreements to secure a place in your repository for faculty scholarship, law
review archives, lecture and conference recordings, and special archival collections.
Participants will learn:
- non-exclusive rights under copyright law and how these rights can help aid the IR mission
- language that can be used in author agreements and content
licenses that permits inclusion of materials in institutional
repositories and other digital archives
- tips and tricks for filling your IR (from tenure track to orphan works)
- how to conduct a fair use analysis that can help identify materials ripe for inclusion in the repository
