UM Libraries Sponsor Copyright Workshops
A new set of workshops, conducted by university library intellectual property specialists Paul Newman and Molly Kleinman, will address a series of issues important to university content creators, with sessions giving special attention to the concerns of dissertation writers and to the needs of faculty.
These workshops will discuss the following questions:
- What does copyright protect and for how long?
- Who owns the copyright?
- When do you need permission to use other people's works in your writing and teaching?
- What is involved in transferring rights to others?
- How can you protect your interests in dealing with journals and publishers?
- How can you increase the impact of your work by use of Creative Commons licenses or by depositing your work in Deep Blue?
Copyright Essentials for Dissertations will be offered Thursday, 11/8/2007 from 11:00 AM-12:00 PM at the Faculty Exploratory (206 Hatcher Graduate Library).
Copyright Essentials for Faculty will be offered Monday, 10/1/2007 from 2:00 PM-3:00 PM at the Faculty Exploratory (206 Hatcher Graduate Library).

MBooks demo on searching and using UM materials digitized by Google
DATES: 4-5 p.m. Oct. 9 and 7-8p.m. Oct. 12, 2006.
EVENT: From the Lincoln Highway to historic dentistry to 19th and 20th century homeopathy and the Making of America literary project, you can satisfy your curiosity or research requirements through the University of Michigan's digitized collections. Now you can also view materials digitized by Google from the U-M libraries.
U-M's Digital Library Productions Service (DLPS) is offering free public demonstrations of Mbooks, the new access system for materials digitized by Google.
U-M's digitized collections can be accessed from anywhere, said Perry Willett, head of DLPS. "By using Mirlyn and searching books digitized by Google, you will be able to quickly determine if you really want to read the entire work", said Willett. "And access to Mirlyn is world-wide, meaning you can discover these works from your home, a neighborhood library computer or from a laptop wireless connection, and, depending on the copyright situation, be able to read many of them."
PLACE: Hatcher Graduate Library's 2nd floor Faculty Exploratory, U-M Central Campus. Map:
