5 Things Librarians Should Read about Copyright and Sharing Instructional Materials

The ACRL Instruction Section’s Research & Scholarship Committee has started a “5 Things” series that will focus on topics of interest to instructional librarians. Their first publication in this series is titled 5 Things You Should Read about Copyright and Sharing Instructional Materials in which they recommend and review five useful resources to read and discuss - they even provide approximate reading times. These recommendations are right on track with the “open” course I’m building for the fall, so I’ll be sure to check these out:

1. Bissell, Ahrash and James Boyle. 2007. Towards a global learning commons: ccLearn. Educational Technology 47 (3): 5‐9.
2. Green, Cable. Developing a culture of sharing and receiving: Open educational resources. Bellingham Technical College elearning, Feb 2008.
3. Hobbs, Renee, Peter Jaszi, and Pat Aufderheide. 2007. The cost of copyright confusion for media literacy. Washington, DC: Center for Social Media.
4. Lehman, Rosemary. 2007. Learning object repositories. New Directions for Adult & Continuing Education 113 (Spring): 57‐66.
