A copyright in libraries primer

All right chatters, for the March 23rd chat expert copyright educator Lesley Ellen Harris (of Copyrightlaws.com) will be our guest chatter. This will be Lesley's first time doing a Twitter chat, so she's going to be joining us this coming Monday as a participant to get a sense of what the chat is like, so for that reason I thought we could have a little primer session on copyright in libraries. This is my niche, as you know, I'm the Copyright and Reserves Supervisor at my library. I'm also currently working with Lesley as her current Copyright Specialist in residence which is what prompted this great collab for the chat. Copyright is a complicated topic, but it's relevant in a wide variety of library settings so it's great to at least have a foundation in it. So join us this week for a primer session and then in two weeks for more in-depth exploration at the hands of a long-standing expert in the field.

Bibliotherapy and Libraries

I just finished a 2-week workshop on bibliotherapy in relationships, and I really learned a lot and felt like it was a valuable experience. I feel like it's a good topic to discuss how bibliotherapy and libraries can go together and I have found several resources related to that topic for everyone to look at:

The ALA Bibliotherapy resource page
Bibliotherapy in a Library Setting: Reaching out to Vulnerable Youth by Natalia Tukhareli in the Partnership journal
Readers’ Advisory, Bibliotherapy, and Grief in YA Literature by Sarah Carnahan at YALSA's The Hub
The Bibliotherapy and Libraries website

On Bibliotherapy by Keren Dali on NoveList

TOPIC

Libraries, LIS pros & the Open Movement

I’m currently taking the Introduction to OERs course that Library Juice Academy (#LJAOER) offers because Open Educational Resources and the Open Movement, in general, are becoming big topics of conversation in my workplace and in my entire province. Given the discussions happening in my course I can tell it’s happening elsewhere too so I thought we could have this week’s chat be about the open movement and libraries. Our inspiration article/source, therefore, is The Open Movement: What Libraries Can Do a 2015 conference presentation by Sheila Corrall. Another source you can check out is my Notes from #ONOERlibrarians day @ Ryerson University during the one-day conference I attended in March.

QUESTIONS

We post the questions here in advance of the chat so you can decide whether or not this topic is of interest to you and/or prepare your answers in advance.

Q1. What do you already know about the open movement? (e.g. Open Access, Creative Commons, Open Data, Open Source & OERs)

Q2. Is your library/are you specifically already involved with any part(s) of the open movement? Which parts? What are you doing?

Q3. What do you see being the role of libraries and library professionals being in the future of the open movement?

Q4. What suggestions/resources do you have for library pros looking to learn more about/get involved with the open movement?
