SL Event with Doug
On Monday, April 14, the CPS Department of Libraries collaborated with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), the AASL Web 2.0 Taskforce, and nationally known speaker Doug Johnson to host a program entitled “Beating the No U-Turn Syndrome: A New Approach to Teaching and Enforcing Copyright Compliance”. This event in Second Life focused on the topic of the school librarian in advocating for the fair use of copyrighted materials. [Program description: For too long librarians have been seen as “copyright cops,” impeding the use of copyrighted materials by students and staff. This presentation suggests we redefine our roles, helping those we serve take maximum advantage of fair use provisions, finding authorities with a “user-centric” view of copyright enforcement, and teaching others to consider not just the legal, but moral side of intellectual property acquisition, use and re-use.] About forty persons attended this session and contributed to a lively discussion about the subject. See companion materials at Doug’s wiki. See Flickr pics of this event.
