Strategies for Advancing Knowledge Through Copyright
2020-06-30 13:00 - 14:00 | webinar
Copyright law is pervasive in the work of information professionals and has a direct impact on how we access, process and use information. Despite its effects on our work, fear and uncertainty about copyright law plagues cultural heritage institutions. This uncertainty can slow efforts to achieve our goals and missions. This session is designed to empower you to feel more confident about copyright and digitization of collections. You will learn the fundamentals of copyright law, including the duration of protection for both published and archival items. This session will also cover fair use and other limitations. You will hear about how rights metadata can help manage large repositories of digitized works and help users understand how those items can be used to create new information, new aesthetics, new insights, and understandings. Finally, this session will review how a library digitized and used two collections in furtherance of its mission, despite ambiguous copyright status and ownership of the items.

GIS Day PechaKucha
Wednesday, January 27th, 2021 , 12-1:30 pm CST
Register here
GIS and geospatial data services are popping up in academic libraries and archives all over Texas! Is your institution part of the trend? We want to hear about it! Texas Digital Library’s GIS Interest Group is hosting a “PechaKucha Day” to share experiences, plans, and ideas about how libraries and archives are supporting and promoting GIS activities throughout the state.
Whether you’re already offering a full suite of GIS services, planning a one-off event, trying to get some maps online, or are just beginning to imagine how you might make use of GIS technologies, we want to hear from YOU. We invite you to share your work and ideas in what we hope will be an informal, fast-paced, and FUN virtual show-and-tell.
PechaKucha nights traditionally include presentations of 20 images, with 20 seconds commentary on each. In other words…presentations are meant to be LIGHTNING FAST and not very in-depth. Think “talk less, show more.” See some examples here:
https://www.pechakucha.com/
http://healthycitymaps.blogspot.com/2013/11/pecha-kucha-presentation-mapping.html
Please use this form to submit your name, institution, and a brief description of what you’d like to share with us (by Wednesday 1/13.). Slides (20 images by 20 seconds each!) should be submitted no later than Wednesday 1/20.
Any questions should go to Jessie Zarazaga: jzarazaga@mail.smu.edu.

Striving for FAIR Geospatial Data

Registration is required. Please register here.
Nathaniel Dede-Bamfo (Texas State University), Jessica Trelogan (University of Texas at Austin), John Watts (Texas A & M University)
Geospatial data are a valuable product of research with potential for sharing and reuse that can be especially powerful for maximizing resources and accelerating the pace of scientific discovery. However, the complex structures, myriad formats, and unique dependencies of GIS technologies, data, and metadata can create barriers to making them findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). In this webinar, presenters will discuss how geospatial data can be aligned with FAIR principles and how librarians can support this effort in concert with researchers.
