The Bookaneers: Copyright Roundup: ACRL 2013 and in the Library Classroom

Recently I’ve been thinking about copyright and fair use, and specifically what we are telling students about these increasingly important matters. I think a lot of times we shy away from talking to students about copyright, because we are worried about giving them legal advice or because we assume that they don’t care and won’t listen. However, I think it is really important to talk to students about copyright, because we want them to be responsible users of copyrighted materials and responsible owners of copyrighted materials. If we don’t talk to them about the important social and economic issues around knowledge creation and production, where will they get their ideas about copyright from? The people who are talking the most vocally about it: big media conglomerates who have an interest in protecting their intellectual property at all costs. And if we don’t teach our students about fair use? Probably no one else will.

Data Services: Making it Happen

Data deluge: volume velocity variety

Challenges: Privacy and security – digital data (surprisingly fragile) vs analog data. How to discover access reuse. Open data? (public funds used to create it – need to figure out how to give it back to the funders)

This past week I attended the 2013 Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Conference in  Indianapolis.  (Great city—very walkable with wonderful restaurants and museums.)  The ACRL Conference provides opportunities to talk to colleagues and vendors about developments in academic library systems, resources and services.  This is the first post in a series about issues raised at the conference:

ACRL 2013: Hybrid Open Access | Spinstah

Halfway Open or Halfway Shut?: OA Hybrid Journals in Academia

Robin CHAMPIEUX , Oregon Health Sciences University , Portland , OR

Jill Emery , Portland State University , Portland , OR

Kasia Stasik , Harrassowitz Booksellers & Subscription Agents , Washougal , WA

Why is hybrid open access important? Relationship to what we know about author publication behavior and current journal publication landscape. Deserves consideration – disciplined analysis of what’s going on. Understand the model and have productive conversations with publishers, authors, librarians.

On the second day of the ACRL 2013 Conference, we had the great pleasure of having lunch with Melanie Sellar. Melanie is currently the Education Services Librarian at Marymount College in Los Angeles.

During the ACRL Conference, Melanie was leading a session titled, “Visible Thinking: Using Course-Integrated Research Narratives to Engage Students and Assess Learning.” We invited her to lunch so we could hear more about her session and understand the value of research narratives in information literacy instruction.

Project SAILS » Our Recap of ACRL 2013

We were very excited to attend the ACRL Conference held two weeks ago in Indianapolis, Indiana and the conference did not disappoint!

We had the pleasure of talking with many great academic librarians from across the world about the current information literacy instruction at their universities and sharing how Project SAILS could help guide these instruction programs. In fact, the first evening of the conference, we talked with librarians from Australia, Hong Kong, and South Africa.

acrl 2013 and biennial milestones. | info-mational

For the record, I tend to love this conference and this year was no exception. It is organized by people I respect, draws focused talent from a broad range of specializations, and I am invariably able to touch base with well-loved colleagues past/present/future. I have also found that ACRL seems to coincide with and/or create significant milestones in my working life, providing a convenient excuse to reflect at two-year intervals on the professional route I and others have taken, and how we view ourselves in relation to the field.
