Utah Library Association 2016 Conference

Opening the Doors to the U.S. Copyright System
1:30pm-1:50pm
Allyson Mower, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah

Many times we hear what copyright does not allow librarians, teachers, and readers to do, but there is more flexibility than we might normally think. In this session, we will look at the range of exceptions listed in the U.S. copyright system and how they are relevant to the work librarians do in building collections and in supporting teaching, reading, and access to information.

More than an Afterthought: Planning for Physical Exhibits in a Digital Space
1:55pm-2:20pm
Darcy Pumphrey, Merrill-Cazier Library, Utah State University
Liz Woolcott, Merrill-Cazier Library, Utah State University

Physical exhibits are ephemeral, available to the public for a finite amount of time in a finite space. What happens to that information after the exhibit comes down? How can exhibits involve the public beyond the library walls? Digital exhibits can compliment and promote physical exhibits, provide a platform for increased access, and preserve a record of the exhibit itself. Digital exhibit creators from Utah State University will demonstrate their lessons learned and best practices for working with physical exhibit curators to create collaborative exhibits in both a physical and digital space.
