<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">Description: As we think intentionally about issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, we recognize how free, open online collections make it possible for everyone to study primary evidence regarding
race, religion, gender, national origin, indigenous peoples and more. But copyright touches almost all aspects of the work of libraries, museums, and archives. It affects what gets produced and how, what gets collected and preserved, who gets to see or use
collections, and how they can be used. Copyright shapes what we are able to share online, whether they are in accessible formats, and raises questions about how to meaningfully support use and reuse. Catalog records only minimally provide information needed
to make copyright determinations, and there are diverse views about copyright—even among Supreme Court justices. The aspiration of global access is affected by international legal differences that reflect varied national social and cultural norms. There is
increased awareness that in being responsible stewards, our ethical considerations must include consideration of rights beyond copyright like traditional knowledge—even if not legally mandated per se.<br>
<br>
Melissa Levine will discuss these matters and some of the current efforts to address these concerns at scale, including the HathiTrust's Copyright Review Management System, global work in the creation of Rightsstatements.org, and how the Community Standards
for 3D Data Preservation's working group on copyright is thinking about more than copyright. The event will be held at OCLC’s global headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, and attendees have the option to attend virtually or in-person.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
