CNI Project Briefing
Melissa Levine, Director, Copyright Office, University of Michigan
Rina Elster Pantalony, Director, Copyright Advisory Services, Columbia University
In this session we discuss our successful pilot collaboration with LYRASIS. with hundreds of registrants for new, online copyright education classes including a basic copyright course made free of charge and distributed publicly. We aspire to inform and empower our community, recognizing that copyright and related issues are foundational concerns in our networked, digital world emphasizing equitable access to reliable, relevant, understandable information. There is a convergence of copyright issues across museums, libraries, archives, research, scholarship, and education, their impact on day-to-day and strategic decisions, as well as the distinct ways in which copyright turns up across these sectors. We aim to address these in this initiative. This session includes an update on our pilot and our work towards a sustainable service model. Attendees will learn about our initiative and its foundational research and share thoughts and ideas on ways we can refine our program.
