| Sumario: | Library makerspaces are truly transformative, inviting library users to create, innovate, and collaborate. But like any cutting-edge initiative, makerspaces also bring up a host of new and unique legal questions. In this first-of-its-kind e-book, three legal experts deliver detailed and reliable answers in plain language for library managers and staff, along with legal citations. Organized in Q & A format for quick reference, this concise resource offers sound advice on such issues as key clauses to look for when evaluating insurance coverage; American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance; how copyright applies to 3-D printing, plus guidance for handling controversial output such as sex toys or swastikas; parental release forms for minors; what trademark law has to say about action figures and logos; how to protect the library from secondary infringement claims; and avoiding negligence lawsuits. Untangling the knotty legal questions surrounding makerspaces, the authors' straightforward answers will empower libraries to use makerspaces to foster a true sense of community. Your community is supercharged about the new makerspace planned for your library. All systems are full speed ahead, and the staff is ready. But wait. Have you considered all the issues? For instance, Do you know about the liability issues inherent in makerspace programs? What can your library do to protect itself from liability? What elements should be in user waivers and in partnership agreements? Can the library protect itself from intellectual property liability when patrons use library equipment to create and copy all types of works using library tools and equipment such as 3D printers? At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants will understand ways to: Minimize liability through waivers and insurance Point users to intellectual property resources to minimize their risks Register the library with U.S. Copyright Office to minimize its exposure to copyright liability from user generated content Frame a partnership agreement with an outside provider This webinar will be of interest to library program planners, Administration, and those interested in makerspace activities. Like the successful, Library's Legal Answer Book, the ebook will use a Q & A format. The ebook allows for greater detail than the webinar, including legal citations that readers may reference. |
