Common Core and Copyright workshop planned for librarians

Librarians, library staff and library advocates are invited to register for “3C Workshop: Common Core and Copyright,” from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., on May 13, at the Port-Sky Café, Penn State Altoona. The program is organized by the Pennsylvania Library Association’s Juniata-Conemaugh Chapter.

Penn State Education Librarian and assistant director of the Pennsylvania Center for the Book Ellysa Stern-Cahoy and Brandy Karl, Penn State University Libraries copyright officer and affiliate law library faculty member, will conduct the workshop. Stern-Cahoy will focus on issues surrounding the Common Core and how Pennsylvania has adapted the standards, while Karl will address questions such as, “Can I copy materials for a patron?” and “Do I need to post a copyright notice?”

Register. Public librarians can earn two continuing education credits for their participation.

The workshop costs $30 for PaLA members and $50 for non-members and includes morning refreshments and lunch. The registration deadline is May 1. For more information, contact the Juniata-Conemaugh Chapter Chair, Linda Filkosky, dlc@altoonalibrary.org / 814-946-0417 x134.
