workshop will address the copyright issues of a particular type of

Northern Illinois University will be the workshop leader. Details are below.
These online workshops are open to everyone. The Rolling Prairie Library
System does ask that you register, but there is no registration fee. Once

the Special Librarian, presented by Rebecca Butler
After providing an overview of copyright law and its impact on special
libraries, Rebecca Butler will address specific questions based on the
needs of the special librarian. Topics to be addressed include: the use of
Arial software and how it affects copyright compliance, dissemination of
information to others by copying the title page and sending it to others,
and when you can legally copy articles from a journal in order to
disseminate the needed information.

the School Librarian, presented by Rebecca Butler
Many school librarians feel as if they are the Copyright Police. At this
workshop, you will learn the basics of copyright law, receive tips towards
the development of a school-wide copyright policy, as well as discuss how
to work within copyright law in the K-12 school environment. Questions that
will be answered include: How can you tell teachers they must not show a
movie as a treat to their students without the proper license? How can you
teach children ethical use of materials, such as how to request the use of
copyrighted material? What are some of the ways that you can borrow/copy
materials in the school and still be sure that you are in compliance with
copyright law?

the Public Librarian, presented by Rebecca Butler
Copyright law is important for all librarians to understand. One reason is
to be compliant with the law within the library. A second reason is to
educate the public about copyright laws. At this workshop, Public
Librarians and staff will obtain an overview of copyright law. Then topics
specific to the public library situation will be addressed. Questions to be
addressed include: Can you burn a CD that you have purchased and circulate
the copy while keeping the original as an archive? What are our
responsibilities when we see a patron making a photocopy of a piece of
music? Can we show a movie without a public performance license?

the Academic Librarian, presented by Rebecca Butler
Academic librarians deal with copyright on a routine basis. One of the
newest twists to copyright compliance deals with providing materials to
distance education students. At this workshop, there will be a general
overview of copyright law and then specific discussion on copyright and
distance education. Within copyright law, the TEACH Act and the DMCA - two
additions of the law written with distance education in mind - will be
addressed. Who handles copyright clearance at your academic institution?
