What We Talk About When We Talk About "Rights Management"

As those who work with visual materials know, nothing bedevils both patrons and visual resources professionals like rights management. When it comes to rights and reproductions issues, “how do you handle XYZ?” is a common refrain among colleagues and all too often VR professionals are thrust into handling R&R with little guidance, experience, or institutional backing. In this 90-minute session, presenters will reflect on their varied experiences in rights management, addressing topics such as copyright research, digitization strategies, licensing agreements and use of Creative Commons, public domain images, and revenue generation. Ideally, this session will lift the veil on rights management and foster discussion of common standards and best practices among presenters and attendees. To that end, the session will consist of eight lightning talks (approximately eight minutes in length), leaving ample time for Q&A. Speakers include Elizabeth Ehrnst, Rebecca K. Friedman, Nicole Joniec, Christina Moretta, Victoria Pilato, and Jenni Rodda. This recording is made available under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
