[Sam Meister]

*Educopia Announces Publication of Community Cultivation - A Field Guide -
What are the characteristics of a healthy, sustainable community?- What are
the most crucial elements a community must attend to in order to thrive?-
What activities can a community undertake in order to strengthen and grow
its core?Issued by the Educopia Institute in November 2018,  Community
Cultivation - A Field Guide (https://educopia.org/cultivation
) provides a powerful lens that can
provide both emerging and established communities with ways to understand,
evaluate, and plan their own growth, change, and maturation.The Field Guide
is designed for use by directors, managers, facilitators, governance
bodies, officers, and staff members. It provides mechanisms for assessing,
developing, managing, and sustaining community projects, programs, and
organizational operations. It also offers a snapshot of the tools,
resources, and training modules Educopia regularly uses in its consulting
and community-building work, including templates, workshops, and guides.We
are offering the Field Guide freely in the hope that it will empower more
community facilitators and leaders to invest in the health and
sustainability of their own collaborative networks.For more information
about the Field Guide and how it can be used to improve the viability of a
broad range of library, archives, museum, and publisher communities, please
check out our blog post, "Community Cultivation Revisited"

[MCN-L] A Landslide of Classic Art(s) Is About to Enter the Public Domain

A Landslide of Classic Art Is About to Enter the Public Domain

For the first time in two decades, a huge number of books, films, and other
works will escape U.S. copyright law.
...It’s the first time since 1998 for a mass shift to the public domain of
material protected under copyright. It’s also the beginning of a new annual
tradition: For several decades from 2019 onward, each New Year’s Day will
unleash a full year’s worth of works published 95 years earlier.

...A Google spokesperson confirmed that Google Books stands ready. Its
software is already set up so that on January 1 of each year, the material
from 95 years earlier that’s currently digitized but only available for
searching suddenly switches to full text.
