Who Owns This Article? Applying Copyright’S Work-Made-For-Hire Doctrine To Librarians’ Scholarship, Paul Hellyer Jan 2016

Who Owns This Article? Applying Copyright’S Work-Made-For-Hire Doctrine To Librarians’ Scholarship, Paul Hellyer

Library Staff Publications

The Copyright Act of 1976 provides that works—including scholarship—written within the scope of employment belong to employers. But copyright law and actual practices widely diverge. The academic community generally allows librarians to claim ownership of their writing, even when that ignores copyright law. Mr. Hellyer supports copyright ownership by librarians, and calls for the law and common practices to be harmonized.

The Librarian’S Copyright Companion, James S. Heller, Paul Hellyer, Benjamin J. Keele Jan 2012

The Librarian’S Copyright Companion, James S. Heller, Paul Hellyer, Benjamin J. Keele

Library Staff Publications

The transition from print to digital continues. The Copyright Act has changed a little, but not for the better. This book begins with the premise that copyright exists to promote the dissemination of information, and while creators have certain rights, so do users. This new edition updates every chapter and adds a new chapter on the library as a publisher. Also included is information on recent developments such as Creative Common licenses and the use of digital video (e.g. YouTube) in the classroom.

Copyright And Research In Google Book Search, Benjamin J. Keele

Library Staff Publications

Many researchers—even trained professionals—often use the Google search engine to begin searches for information. Google’s many products enable researchers to search public websites, scholarly articles, and even patents. One vast area of information not yet thoroughly indexed by Google is print books. Google Book Search (also at times referred to as Google Books, Google Print and Google Library Project) is the company’s effort to digitize and index the world’s print literature.

Copyright Provisions In Law Journal Publication Agreements, Benjamin J. Keele

Library Staff Publications

Mr. Keele examines copyright provisions of law journal publication agreements and finds that a minority of journals ask authors to transfer copyright. Most journals also permit authors to self-archive articles. He recommends journals make their agreements publicly available and use licenses instead of copyright transfers.
