 The goal is to get you thinking about the issues  Online library resources  Copyright ▪ We are not copyright experts or lawyers  Open source materials  Use your campus for more detailed information  Librarian  Legal council

1. Online tutorials 2. Libguides (reference / resource collections) 3. Direct linking of articles 4. Communicating with librarians 5. Citation formatters 6. Other

1. Did not know they existed 2. Do not know how to set it up 3. Takes too much time to set up 4. Do not want to redo lesson plan 5. Want my students to learn the skills on their own 6. Does not fit with my classes 7. Other

 Libguides  Portals to research information (articles/resources)  High quality information and links  May create student dependency  Direct linking  Links to articles in journal databases  Students access the article through the distributors’ database (avoids copyright issues)  Relies on the university’s current database subscriptions

 Communicating with librarians  Chats/online tutorials about research topics  Provides convenient access to research help  Students/faculty may not be aware of services  Citation formatters  Place references in commons styles (MLA, APA, etc.)  Quick, simple formatting  Students accept results without verifying correctness

 We want students to have access to materials they need, but…  Are we violating copyright to do so?  Are we encouraging our students to do the same?  Murky topic  We may be too liberal in how we interpret it  Publishers may be too restrictive  What to do?

1. Yes, it is my article 2. Yes, I have copyright ownership 3. Maybe, it depends on where I published it 4. No, the journal owns the copyright 5. No, I do not like him/her

1. Yes, why not? 2. Yes, the university has a subscription to the journal 3. Yes, we have a subscription and the course is password protected 4. Yes, it is fair use 5. No, I do not have the copyright 6. No, I think this is a trick question

1. Yes, it is available to everyone 2. Yes, it is fair use 3. Yes, if I just link to it 4. Maybe, it depends on the owner of the material 5. No, I do not have the copyright

 A few things to watch for  Know what copyrights you have ▪ What is it for this conference?  Know what resources are available to you ▪ If you can link to a paper directly, it may avoid problems  Know a little about fair use ▪ How does it apply to what you do in class?  Know who to talk to ▪ Who are your resources on campus?  American Library Association Copyright Tools 

 What are your experiences with copyright?  Good or bad  What lessons did you learn?  Are there alternatives that can help alleviate these problems?  I’m glad you asked…

1. Its unreliable 2. Its low quality 3. There isn’t anything for my classes out there 4. There’s a catch somewhere 5. It seems like a good thing to try 6. Everything must be made open 7. Other

 Paid = good  Free = bad  Open source = free  There are generally restrictions on how it can be used  Open source = open access  There is no quality control  Not everyone can contribute to open source projects

 What are some of the advantages of using open source/open access materials?  For you  For your students  What are some of the disadvantages of using open source/open access materials?  For you  For your students

 Aside from saving money, how can these be used?  Have students add material ▪ Examples, explanations, etc. ▪ Doesn’t have to be added back to the original work  Better access to more resources ▪ Mixing and matching sources ▪ More egalitarian access to knowledge
