Nasig Conference Report: Copyright Law—Fact Or Fiction?, Jennifer Duncan

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

Because copyright law is notoriously difficult to interpret, Janice Krueger's program on this topic drew a large and engaged crowd. Krueger, the Electronic Resources and Serials Librarian at the University of the Pacific, became interested in copyright when her institution implemented an openURL-enabled linking service and she began to wonder what kind of implications the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) might have for open linking. Krueger began the program with a broad overview of how the Copyright statutes of the U.S. Code (Title 17) govern many of the day to day activities of any library.

Nasig Conference Report: Electronic Resources Management And The Marc Record—The Road Less Traveled, Jennifer Duncan

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

The question of how to track administrative metadata for electronic resources has become a real conundrum for serialists over the past few years. As the number of electronic resources licensed by any given library has grown, we have discovered the need to communicate technical and licensing terms to (among others) the public, the reference librarians, and the Interlibrary Loan office. Paula Sullenger, the Serials Acquisitions Librarian (and a former Serials Cataloger) at Auburn University, discussed a relatively new approach to making the licensing terms available: enhancing MARC records.

Enhanced Resource Sharing Through Group Interlibrary Loan Best Practices: A Conceptual, Structural, And Procedural Approach., Lars Leon, June Deweese, Carol Kochan, Billie Peterson-Lugo, Brian Pytlik Zillig,

Carol Kochan

: Members of the Greater Western Library Alliance Interlibrary Loan Committee have spent more than two years developing a Best Practices model for Interlibrary Borrowing and Lending for consortia and local operations. The model includes the practices to be followed, a monitoring plan, and a process for regular evaluation. The GWLA Interlibrary Loan Committee has not yet determined the regular evaluation process, including the timeline. We anticipate that process being established in Spring 2003.

Western States Dublin Core Metadata Best Practices, Version 1.2, Cheryl D. Walters, Western States Digital Standards Group

Library Faculty & Staff Publications

Funded by a grant awarded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the fall of 2001, the University of Denver (Denver, Colorado) spearheaded a multi-state collaborative initiative to create a virtual collection of widely dispersed digital resources on the topic, Western trails. As part of this initiative, 23 institutions in four Western states were awarded mini-grants to create digital content and metadata for resources related to Western trails. In addition to creation of a virtual collection of digital resources, another significant component of this multi-state initiative was development of a set of Dublin-Core based best practices by …
