Selfies in the Stacks
I wanted to let you know about my new Tumblr "Selfies in the Stacks" at http://selfiesinthestacks.
The Golden Rule (Fair Use, Re-Use, and New Use)
The Golden Rule (Fair Use, Re-Use, and New Use) [REGISTER]
February 26th. 4:30-6:00 pm.When should you be able to use someone else’s work without permission? Does the answer change when it’s your art being used? The copyright concept of “Fair Use” is the law’s attempt to deal with this question, with mixed results of actual “fairness.” This session will first outline the law and contemporary examples and then discuss campus-based issues.
ArtsLab and the UM Copyright Office will be hosting a series of round-table discussions on topics ranging from intellectual property to business organization to art as an advocacy tool. These events will bring together interested students, staff, and faculty in 60 to 90 minute long sessions designed to introduce a topic and discuss the impact it has on creative arts, careers, and campus life. Even though we will be discussing legal and business topics, these sessions are not legal advice.

Open workshops on publishing for graduate students
Thursday, 2/6, 3:00 pm-4:00 pm
This session, directed to graduate students and junior faculty
in the social sciences and humanities, will discuss the process of
publishing a scholarly book. Attendees will learn how to craft a book
proposal, identify potential publishers, approach press editors, and
benefit from peer review at a university press. Equally important, you
will find out how to work with the publisher’s marketing team to promote
book sales, compete for book prizes, and draw wide attention for their
scholarship. Bring your questions–and get answers from two experienced
publishing professionals!
Presenters:
Melody Herr, Senior Acquisitions Editor at the University of Michigan Press
Renée Tambeau, Director of Marketing and Outreach for Michigan Publishing and the Press.
Tuesday, 2/18, 3:00 pm-4:00 pm
Want
to make sure your published work reaches as many readers as possible?
Interested in publishing in an open access journal, but aren’t able to
pay a publication charge? Curious about why your funding agency is
requiring you to share your research findings? This workshop will
discuss the basics of open access and how the landscape of scholarly
publishing is changing. Attendees will learn how to select appropriate
publication venues, understand their rights as an author, and identify
important trends in the larger publishing world that are relevant to
their work.
Wednesday, 3/12, 3:00 pm-4:00 pm
Copyright for the dissertation writer is not that scary, we promise! In
this workshop we’ll cover data, images, and reusing prior published
articles in your dissertation. We’ll also show you how to protect your
copyright as an author and how to get permissions when necessary. This
session is specifically for those working on a dissertation or thesis.
Thursday, 3/13, 3:00 pm-4:30 pm
A panel of faculty members from a range of disciplines in the
humanities, social sciences, and sciences will discuss their experience
as authors, editors, and reviewers in today’s academic publishing
environment. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from
faculty on topics such as:
- how the peer review process works
- what presses are looking for in book proposal
- common methods for handling reviewer feedback
- tips for successfully co-authoring materials
- advice for fitting writing into a busy schedule
- and much more!
Registration for all sessions is available via the TTC.

ArtsLab
and the UM Copyright Office will be hosting a series of round-table
discussions on topics ranging from intellectual property to business
organization to art as an advocacy tool. These events will bring
together interested students, staff, and faculty in 60 to 90 minute long
sessions designed to introduce a topic and discuss the impact it has on
creative arts, careers, and campus life. Participants are encouraged to
bring their own topics and issues to discuss generally. Even though we
will be discussing legal and business topics, these sessions are not legal advice
-------
January 28th. 4:30-6:00 pm.
How
exactly do you “own” art? How do we expect people to respect ownership?
This session will broadly cover the types of intellectual property
protection we have, from the law to cultural norms. Topics include
copyright, moral rights, industry custom, internet trends, and Creative
Commons.
February 3rd. 4:30-6:00 pm.
What’s
the difference between Copyright, Trademark, and Patent protection? How
do they affect art and creative projects? This session will help
identify the differences in the regime, provide basic information on
when you might be eligible for legal protection, and discuss some
campus-based examples.
February 18th. 4:30-6:00 pm.
Copyright
grants an exclusive right to a public performance – but what does that
really mean? What happens when music is performed live? What about
playing a cover of someone else’s song? What about a film screening?
Does a mural have any legal protection against reproductions? This event
will explore when performances or displays are “infringing” – and what
that means.
February 26th. 4:30-6:00 pm.
When
should you be able to use someone else’s work without permission? Does
the answer change when it’s your art being used? The copyright concept
of “Fair Use” is the law’s attempt to deal with this question, with
mixed results of actual “fairness.” This session will first outline the
law and contemporary examples and then discuss campus-based issues.
March 10th. 4:30-6:00 pm.
Does
it make sense to incorporate as a corporation or an LLC? What’s an LLC?
Why would you want to incorporate an artistic project? The corporate
structure provides a significant number of protections and advantages
for all types of organizations. This session will briefly outline the
advantages and the formal requirements while addressing common practices
in the industry.
March 20th. 4:30-6:00 pm.
Do
social and civic projects benefit from the inclusion of art? Can art
itself be used as a tool for advocacy? This session will provide a
background into some recent efforts and highlight some current projects
in Detroit and Ann Arbor.
