Do the Right Thing: Empowering Ethical Copyright Usage in Libraries
Article IV of ALA’s Code of Ethics states, “We respect intellectual property rights and advocate balance between the interests of information users and rights holders.” This program – part of COPE’s “Ethics in a Digital World” series – will address practical solutions to ethical dilemmas that libraries of all types face in regard to copyright. A panel of experts will address issues in public, academic, and school libraries, empowering librarians to help people do what’s right – moving from copyright police to sources of creative support.
