Digital Graphics – Yours, Mine and Ours. A guide to their legal use.

Date, Location

Thu, 11/03/2011 - 12:00pm - 1:00pm

About the Event

• Does your library have any protection when images that it posts on its website or social media sites start proliferating onto other sites without permission?
• Does it have any protection when images of the staff, the public, library exhibits, or the library itself appear in social media without permission?
• Who owns those images?
• When can the library use images created by others?

This one-hour webinar includes a refresher and update to finding images in the public domain and asking permission for images that are copyrighted.

By the end of the webinar, participants will:

• Be introduced to TinEye.com, a phenomenal reverse image search tool
• Have a basic understanding of the legal protections the library’s images may have, and what they don’t have
• Be exposed to a takedown request and learn where to turn for help if they get one
• Be given sample language to use when asking permission to use an image, and to best ensure that the permissions given are legitimately from the copyright owner

Cost: no charge
