Dear Videolib,
I don't like doing self-promotion, but since the topic of copyright comes up
on the list quite a bit, I wanted to let you know about this upcoming 3-part
eCourse I'm doing for ALA on Managing Copyright in Digital Collections.
http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=11291 The outline is below. I'll
spend a good amount of time on film/video examples.
Best,
Linda

ALA Editions announces a new facilitated eCourse, Managing Copyright in
Digital Collections . Linda Tadic will serve as the instructor for this
three-week facilitated eCourse starting on Feb. 16, 2015.
When you're creating a digital collection or digitizing materials for
preservation and access, you face a whole new set of copyright questions. In
this three-week eCourse, you will learn how to apply copyright to a variety
of media and formats and make decisions with a project manager's
sensibility, enabling you to keep your projects on track. Tadic, experienced
in film, art and cultural object archives, will lead discussions, provide
related readings and resources and will also present three live webinars as
part of the eCourse.
By the end of this eCourse, you will be able to:
* determine whether a work is truly in the public domain by examining
the metadata that should be used to make copyright determinations;
* identify potential third-party (underlying) rights, research rights
holders, and gain permissions;
* assertively apply the four factors of fair use to works in all media.
Save the date to attend the live webinars! (Please note that all sessions
will be recorded and archived for those who cannot attend the live events.)
