WebJunction Webinars
“Incubate Creativity at Your Library”

Project, and Community Engagement Librarian, Madison Public Library.
Description: The Library as Incubator
Project (LAIP) promotes the library as a place to connect and create. LAIP has
networked with hundreds of libraries who are working with their communities to
incubate and inspire creative projects. They have talked with scores of
artists, writers, makers, performers, and other creatives about how they use
their libraries and how their libraries can serve them even better. In this
webinar, LAIP shares program and project ideas, resources and case studies to
turn your library into a creativity incubator. Take the workable, scalable

“Make, Do, Share: Build a STEM Learning
Community”
Date & Time: 28 April 2016. 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM Eastern
Daylight Time, North America [UTC -4].
Presenters: from Kitsap Regional
Library, Shannon Peterson, Youth
Services Manager and Seth
Ciotti, BiblioTEC Program Manager
Description: Youth in grades K-12 spend
an astounding 81% of their time in informal learning environments outside of
school. Libraries are a locus of informal learning. As the number of STEM
related careers continues to multiply, libraries can play a key role in fostering
the interest and excitement for STEM learning that may be missing in schools.
Through the generous support of a grant from the Institute of Museum and
Library Services, Kitsap Regional Library System (KRL) has developed a
ready-to-use system that empowers libraries of all sizes to become community
STEM leaders. If you feel like an "accidental STEM librarian" and are
wondering how to get started, staff at this semi-rural library system will
share fresh ideas and hands-on, practical advice for planning and implementing
impactful programs. Learn how to take the lead with informal learning for youth
and families in your community.

Series Webinar (Georgia Library Association and the Georgia Public
Library Service)
“Emerging Issues in Copyright and Intellectual Property
for Public Libraries”
Date & Time: April 13, 2016 -- 2PM EST (1PM CST | 12PM MST |
11AM PST)
Presenter: Ben Bryson,
developed an interest in intellectual property issues while earning his M.S. in
Library and Information Studies from Florida State University. He was able to
further indulge this interest by participating in the Spring 2014 cohort of the
CopyrightX course offered through Harvard Law School and the Berkman Center for
Internet and Society. Ben currently serves as Assistant Director of the Marshes
of Glynn Libraries. He previously worked at Coastal Pines Technical College
(formerly Altamaha Technical College) as Assistant Director of Library Services
and Reference & Instruction Librarian. He has led presentations on
copyright at a variety of professional meetings and has assisted in the
creation of institutional copyright policies and procedures.
Description: Copyright issues may be
familiar territory to those working in academic libraries, but a discussion of
copyright and intellectual property is not as common in the public library
setting. Although it seems to play a background role in the services that public
libraries perform, copyright law gives public libraries the legal standing to
perform traditional services such as lending books. As public libraries begin
to expand these traditional services to embrace digitization and makerspaces,
for example, a thorough review of copyright will provide valuable insight into
possible issues they may face.
This session will begin with a discussion of
copyright law, especially where it directly mentions the services that public
libraries provide. This discussion will also include a review of fair use and
its relation to copyright. Next, the session will investigate how public
libraries can approach copyright and other intellectual property issues through
best practices as they offer new technologies and services such as makerspaces,
digitization, and assistive devices.
TechSoup
for Libraries Webinar
“Emerging Issues in Copyright and Intellectual
Property for Public Libraries”
Date & Time: Wed, Apr 27, 2016. 11:00 AM PDT.
Presenters: Amanda Zuccarelli, Ray
DeLara, Crystal Schimpf
Description: Instagram is a highly popular social network, and one that is
increasingly being used by libraries to engage with patrons and supporters.
Instagram’s user-friendly interface makes it easy to broadcast pictures and
short videos to a wide audience. But just like any social media tool, it is
important to know what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to using
Instagram to share library information.
Come to this free webinar to learn from two libraries who have been
successfully using Instagram to engage with their communities, and to share
positive library messages with the larger community of Instagram users across
the world. From promoting library materials to showcasing library services,
these libraries will share good practices that they have learned along the way.
* Burlingame Public Library (CA) uses their
Instagram account to share its unique story visually through a combination of
captivating photos and videos.
* Cherry Hill Public Library (NJ) uses their
Instagram account to promote library materials and services, celebrate
libraries in general, and to convey a love of reading and books.
