I thought Carrie's idea was so excellent that I went ahead and started an ALA
Connect group that is open for all to join. You do not need to be a member of ALA
to join this. http://connect.ala.org/node/113387 The group is called Copyright
for School and Youth Libraries.
If you have never used ALA Connect before, there is help available.
Copyright for School and Youth Libraries
A group for school and youth librarians to discuss in depth issues of copyright as
it relates to schools, youth, and youth usage of social media. Recently Carrie
Russell of the ALA Washington Office wrote on LM_NET:
I think school librarians have a tough task at hand - trying to promote ethical
behavior while at the same time, trying to teach their educational communities
about fair use. I think librarians should use discussion lists or other
mechanisms to talk about these issues with one another. Academic librarians have
several discussion lists on copyright, but I don't think school librarians even
have one. There are no AASL committees dedicated to copyright, no discussion
groups etc. You really can learn from one another.
Seeing the validity of this idea we have created this group to offer members the
opportunity to share their concerns, procedures, and instructional strategies to
teach copyright.
