Copyright and OER Creation
Open Educational Resources offer powerful opportunities for teaching and learning—but they also raise important copyright questions. This webinar will guide librarians and faculty through creating OER, including how and when copyrighted materials can be used in the creation of open content. Topics include licensing, fair use, attribution, and practical strategies for combining open and copyrighted works in ways that support teaching goals while managing risk.
Speaker:
Tucker Taylor, Library Consultant and Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Copyright in Education and LibrarianshipFrom Exhibition to Engagement: Art in the Library and Campus Connections at Florida State University
How can academic libraries move beyond quiet study to become vibrant sites of creative engagement and innovative connection? At Florida State University, Art in the Library began as an exhibition initiative and has grown into a multifaceted program spanning STEM collaborations, performing arts pop-ups, museum partnerships, campus-wide collaborations, and outdoor programming.
In this webinar, presenters share the strategies, partnership models, and marketing approaches that supported this evolution. Attendees will gain adaptable frameworks for scaling arts programming, cultivating cross-campus collaborators, and positioning the library as a visibly interdisciplinary hub.Social Crafting: Building Community, Creative Expression, and Individual Resilience

From story-time craft projects to adult stitching circles, crafting as part of a group offers benefits for both individuals and communities. The practice of crafting together can help fight digital abstraction, connect socially, and build our personal reserves of patience, resilience, and tolerance for mistakes.
