Blazer Library
Brown Bag Lunch Series:
Join Us for Lunch
and Learn Something New!
Who: Students, Faculty, and Staff are all invited!
When: Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 12:00 pm
Where: Paul G. Blazer Library, Extended Hours Study Room
What: A free lunch will be provided while John Schlipp, copyright expert, presents “Current Issues in Student Copyright Infringement”
Confused about the difference between plagiarism and copyright? Want to know more about Fair Use? Concerned about whether or not your music file sharing violates copyright law? Uncertain how you might get a copyright for your own original music or maybe a patent for your great idea? Librarian, John Schlipp, will discuss these topics associated with college students and educators. Based on his Creative Thinking website, John will present the real story in a proactive manner to help students know their intellectual property rights both as consumers and creators of intellectual works, e.g. research papers, music, art, published books and articles, films, inventions, small business ideas, etc. For example, many media producers display negative copyright warnings suggesting that you have no rights to copy Fair Use portions of their work in your own mash-ups or other new creative works. Learn the truth and consequences of this dilemma as some students have been ensnared in alleged file sharing copyright infringement as reported in the news.
John Schlipp is Assistant Professor of Extended Collection Services at Steely Library, Northern Kentucky University, and formerly, Patent & Trademark Librarian at the Public Library of Cincinnati. He is responsible for copyright awareness at NKU. Prior to receiving his MSLS from the University of Kentucky in 2000, he worked in the communications industry for 15 years. Schlipp’s contributions include: articles and book reviews; an intellectual property awareness program for teens and young adults entitled Creative Thinking (http://CreativeThinking.nku.edu); associate editor of the Encyclopedia of Northern Kentucky (University Press of Kentucky, 2009), and a chapter in the forthcoming textbook Distributed Learning Librarianship (Sharon Almquist, ed., Libraries Unlimited, 2010).
