Your patrons need your help! Not just in doing research but in understanding copyright, so they can share their own work, and build on others’ work.
The good news is that librarians often know exactly what our patrons need to know — we just have to know how to talk to them.
Laura Quilter, who has taught numerous workshops in copyright for authors, artists, creators, and librarians, will offer a webinar in running your own copyright workshop.
She’ll cover topics from common fears (will I get in trouble for giving legal advice?) to helpful techniques.
