Copyright Advisory Network – Seeking Individuals Interested in Scholar Program
The Copyright Advisory Committee for the Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP) is seeking applicants interested in becoming “Copyright Scholars” for the Copyright Advisory Network (CAN).
CAN is a Web site (www.librarycopyright.net) and bulletin board where librarians discuss copyright dilemmas and concerns online. CAN does not provide legal advice to librarians with copyright queriesinstead it is an online, learning community where librarians can discuss common copyright concerns, get guidance from the network participants, and explore various options and approaches to library services where copyright is an issue.
If you are a librarian with basic knowledge of copyright and are willing to volunteer time to help others, you may be interested in becoming a Copyright Scholar for the Network. Selected individuals will receive free training from copyright experts so they can think through common copyright dilemmas and provide assistance to others with real-life copyright conundrums. Scholars agree to devote a small amount of their time (2 hours a week max) responding to copyright queries posted to the Network. You can decide how long your commitment to the Network will last but it must be for at least one year.
To express your interest in becoming a Copyright Scholar, write a letter that details any special training or expertise you already have that would make you a good candidate for the job. The Copyright Advisory Committee will select the lucky applicants from the pool of letters received.
Send your letter or any questions you may have to Carrie Russell via email at crussell[_at_]alawash.org. Deadline for applications is August 15, 2005.
