Copyright
Happens....an Uncommon Workshop on Avoiding Common Pitfalls
1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., Indiana Convention Center
& RCA Dome
$25 Member - $40 Non-Member
Copyright is unavoidable and can raise troubling questions in the library
and beyond. When can you make copies? When should you avoid them? How,
or more importantly, can, you preserve fragile resources by making copies
of them before they disappear? Can you make those copies or other resources
more widely available using digital resources? Are electronic resources
covered by copyright, a license signed by the library, or both? Exploring
some principles about copyright and how it applies to these and other
everyday questions in the library is the focus of this workshop. Participants
will gain a better understanding of fair use and other exemptions that
address many library activities today and will discuss various copyright
issues confronting librarians now and that will arise in the future.
Bring your questions and expect some surprises along the way.

Every Child Ready
to Read @ your library
9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Indiana Convention Center
& RCA Dome
$40 Member - $60 Non-Member
An overview of the Every Child Ready to Read @ your library project
from the Public Library Association and Association of Library Service
to Children’s literacy initiative. Based on early literacy research
from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of
the National Institutes of Health and the experience of 14 demonstration
sites nationwide, you’ll see how focusing on parents and caregivers
helped library systems become a valuable partner in the community. You’ll
become familiar with all three workshops: for parents/caregivers of
Early Talkers (Newborn to Two-Year Olds), Talkers (Two-and Three-Year-Olds),
and Pre-Readers (Four-and Five-Year-Olds). Includes current research
on early literacy development, the role of the parent/caregiver, and
examples of the development of each of the six early literacy skills
for each age level. Participants will have hands-on practice with part
of Talkers, and Pre-Readers workshops. Includes information on using
the workshops to start new partnerships and to strengthen exisisting
ones.
