A 90-minute workshop, Wednesday, February 6, 2013, 2:30pm Eastern/1:30pm Central/12:30pm Mountain/11:30am Pacific Copyright, Licensing, and the Law of E-Books (ALA TechSource Workshop) A 90-minute workshop, Wednesday, February 6, 2013, 2:30pm Eastern/1:30pm Central/12:30pm Mountain/11:30am Pacific Along with their popularity and convenience, e-books bring their own set of challenges to libraries. If you manage an existing e-book collection or are in the planning stages, the following questions will already sound familiar: as your library acquires e-books, do you acquire ownership or access? How do the rights granted for lending print books change in a digital environment? How does the concept of First Sale apply to library materials, and what is its current application to library e-books? Lending and licensing models are in flux, and new players are entering the e-book marketplace, making up-to-date guidance even more necessary. In this workshop Mary Minow from LibraryLaw.com<http://librarylaw.com/> will take you on a pragmatic journey through the law of e-books, cutting through the jargon to give straight answers to common questions. With an understanding of the legal underpinnings of library e-book lending, you'll be able to plan an effective e-book strategy for your library. Among the topics to be explored: * An introductory review of major e-book platform vendors and emerging library-based projects * Is First Sale in jeopardy, as some say? * The implication of a recent court decision, The Authors Guild v. Hathitrust<http://dockets.justia.com/docket/new-york/nysdce/1:2011cv06351/384619>, with regard to Fair Use * How the so-called Library Exception (Section 108), which permits libraries and archives to make copies for interlibrary loan, preservation and replacement, applies to e-books * Conditions and e-book applications of Section 121, also known as the Chafee Amendment, which allows authorized entities to copy and distribute some copies to persons with print disabilities * What to look for in licensing language and provisions Mary Minow is the Follett Chair at the Dominican School of Library and Information Sciences, Counsel to the Califa Group, and a library law consultant on issues of copyright, privacy, intellectual freedom and related access to information issues.
