Do you ever leave work stressed because your "to-do" list isn't even half finished?

Managing time is a key element in your on-the-job success. No matter what your position, the strength of your time management skills and habits affects both your daily performance and your personal wellbeing.

This workshop will introduce general issues pertaining to the selection of materials for digitization, and copyright issues. Topics covered: introduction to basic copyright law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, including "fair use" and "public domain" issues; methods for assessing copyright status of materials; print/analog materials vs. digital materials; risk tolerance and management; capturing rights information in digital object metadata; and developing an institutional policy and rights management framework.

Your library's employees are its most valuable resource. They must be skilled, knowledgeable, and adaptive to user expectations. No matter what your role in staff training and development—whether you are a library director or manager, a training coordinator, or the person with "accidental" responsibility in this area—you need strategies for skill building.
