• Rethinking Copyrights for the Library Through Creative Commons Licensing

Two recent and related social developments of note for libraries are an upsurge in cultural participation enabled by Web 2.0 media and calls in government policy for enhanced innovation through education. Ironically, these have occurred at the same time that increasingly stringent copyright laws have restricted access to cultural content. Concepts of governmentality are used here to examine these tensions and contradictions. In particular, Foucault's critique of the author figure and freedom as part of the will to govern within liberal democratic societies is used to argue for better quality copyright education programs in school libraries and library information science education programs. For purposes of teaching and research, copyrights are defined as agglomerations of legal, economi...

• Librarians and Licensing

A yawning gap in contemporary information professional education is the lack of training in licensing electronic content. Buying econtent is serious business. So it is ludicrous, if not negligent, for any organization -- especially a library -- to leave such serious business for any professional who is unprepared to negotiate million-dollar contracts for the procurement of information. It is unacceptable that accredited, graduate library and information science programs fail to provide thorough education in this area. Despite the woeful state of librarian education in this area, a class of librarians exists that has learned how to buy econtent and manage the myriad issues that arise within the context of digital procurement. Still, for the value these professionals bring to their organi...
