Our next Webcast will be offered on Thursday, November 21, at 12 noon. The
Webcast will last approximately an hour. "Digital Reference: Legal Issues"
taught by Mary Minow - lawyer, librarian, author, and popular Infopeople
instructor. Here is a brief description of what the Webcast is about:
A preliminary look at the legal issues raised when a library offers digital
reference service. Although digital reference is still in its infancy and
without direct court cases on point, the webcast will look at what issues
are raised when a librarian sends a scanned document via email or through a
live chat session. Who owns the copyright to the patron interviews? Can
they be used in promotions? What privacy concerns are raised? Should
librarians be concerned about sending, for example, information to another
country that is illegal there, such as hate speech to Germany?
We strongly recommend that you register and follow the directions for
testing your system before the day of the Webcast. Once you have
registered, and it is time to access the Webcast, all you have to do is
again click on the "Register for Webcast" link, and enter only your e-mail
address to access the program.
Anyone working in a California library is welcome to view and participate
in Infopeople Webcasts.
Please feel free to share this e-mail with others you know who may be
interested in taking advantage
of this opportunity.
