Negotiation
for Librarians
September 27, 2018
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET
Does the idea of negotiating with vendors, administrators or community members make you nervous? Or do you just worry you don’t have the skills and experience necessary to represent
your library effectively? If you fit into either of these categories, this session is for you. This practical one-hour session will provide you with research on what productive negotiation looks like, how you can use your own strengths to make yourself a confident
negotiator, and key techniques for preparing for any type of negotiation. The session will provide real-world library examples that you can apply immediately to your next meeting or conversation.

From
Authors Rights to Limits of Liability: Navigating Copyright in Library Publishing
October 10, 2018
2:00 – 4:00pm ET
In this session the instructor will lead participants through the legal issues surrounding copyright concerning library publishing, including the copyright policy for the unit, author’s
rights, and licensing and permissions necessary to publish work through the library. The course will begin with an introduction to basic copyright rules, but will also include more complex issues such as fair use and creative commons licensing. The rights
of authors and different options for author publishing agreements (in terms of copyright) will also be discussed. The participants will be empowered to consult copyright policies from other library publishing groups to draft and implement their own internal
and extern copyright publishing policies.
Instructor: Sara Benson, Copyright Librarian and Assistant Professor in the Scholarly Communication and Publishing Unit at the University of Illinois Library
