The speaker, Brenda Reeb, is the coordinator of the usability program at the River Campus Libraries <http://www.library.rochester.edu/> , University of Rochester. During the day-long institute, participants learn about a design process for managing digital projects within a library context and learn about usability theory and methodology. The workshop is geared towards library staff that work with the library's website, including website designers, usability practitioners, and web page editors. TSLAC <http://www.tsl.state.tx.us> brings you this event free of charge! Workshop Registration is first-come-first-serve with room capacity at 80 participants. Workshop hours are from 8:30am - 5:00pm. Light morning and afternoon refreshments will be provided, but lunch is on your own.

You thought there was no topping the library "Mudflap" girl. Then, there was the logo with the cowboy riding the book. Apparently, their creativity does not stop there. Wyoming State Library staff produced a nifty set of videos targeted at an ongoing need for many public libraries - trustee training. Go meet Dan the newbie trustee and learn from his mistakes! Trustee Trouble <http://www.wyominglibraries.org/trusteetrouble.html> includes a series of short videos that document the missteps of a rookie trustee with no idea what makes a good library board member. Dan learns that meetings must be attended in the video called "Land of Confusion". He begins to understand what advocacy for the library means in "Taking it to the Streets". He bungles through his relationship with the library Director in "Hail to the Chief" and then explores topics such as finance, policies and planning. This series is assembled with discussion questions <http://www.wyominglibraries.org/trusteetroublefiles/Trustee_Trouble_Que stions.pdf> that the board can tackle after viewing. If your board needs training, the Wyoming State Library provides a fun way to do it with Trustee Trouble. TSLAC has the DVD available for checkout, so contact Anne Ramos <mailto:[email protected]> via email or call 1-800-252-9386 (TX only) if you would rather not access the videos online. <http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/LibraryDevelopments/~4/601W1d7nUJw> Copyright in the Classroom - Free Online Forum <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LibraryDevelopments/~3/bdf1IshRnek/> Posted: 09 Jun 2009 07:24 AM PDT There's still time to be part of BCR's Free Friday Forum <http://www.bcr.org/training/schedule/results.php?type=F3&instructor=&st ate=&keywords=&bool=AND&where%5b%5d=titles&where%5b%5d=descriptions&mont h1=&day1=&year1=&month2=&day2=&year2=> series online on July 17, 2009 from 1:00pm - 2:00pm central time. The topic for this forum is copyright in the classroom.

This document represents a new model for educators to deal with fair use when using digital resources. It addresses creating and sharing curriculum, as well as student use of copyrighted materials in their own work.
