The annual Kraemer Copyright Conference at UCCS will be held on June 1-2, 2015 on the University of Colorado Colorado Springs campus. This conference offers public, academic, and school librarians the opportunity to learn about U.S. Copyright Law and how it impacts the services we offer our patrons.
An optional pre-conference session will be held the afternoon of June 1st. This session will review the basics of U.S. Copyright Law that every librarian should be familiar with. On June 2 there will be a full day of educational activities! We are excited to welcome back Dr. Kenneth D. Crews<http://www.ghplaw.com/Content/Attorneys/Kenneth_Crews.htm>, who will lead sessions on how to identify copyright issues at your institution. Kevin Smith, Director of the Office of Copyright and Scholarly Communications at Duke University and author of the popular Scholarly Communications @ Duke<http://blogs.library.duke.edu/scholcomm/> blog, will be joining us this year to speak about the tools available to help librarians in addressing copyright issues. In our afternoon break-out sessions we will explore relevant copyright topics more in-depth.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
