Library Journal Review

Library users often approach librarians with a myriad of copyright issues, and while librarians must take care to avoid providing legal advice, they are the perfect conduit for coaching users about copyright issues. Attorney Smith (dean of libraries, Univ. of Kansas) and Ellis (associate dean for research & learning svcs., Bloomington Libs., Indiana Univ.) suggest that coaching, rather than teaching, is preferable in many situations. Coaching, according to Smith, "is focused on a particular client's need and on obtaining a desired outcome for that client." Smith and Ellis offer a collection of essays by academic librarians addressing how to coach both students and faculty about copyright issues. Readers will learn how best to determine patrons' copyright needs and how to develop users' interest in copyright issues, as well as how to coach users in negotiating author rights, how to assist instructional designers with copyright issues in online learning, and how to help undergraduate researchers figure out their intellectual property rights. Essays consider the role of the copyright librarian in both large universities and smaller liberal arts universities. VERDICT Academic librarians will appreciate the practical advice found here, while librarians in other settings with an interest in copyright will discover methods to connect with users.--Lydia Olszak, Bosler Memorial Lib., Carlisle, PA

CHOICE Review

Coaching Copyright is a must read for librarians who regularly interact with copyright law--which is to say, all librarians. Copyright is notoriously complex in its applications in academic settings, and one can find a number of resources that distill these complex ideas and outline their relevance to librarians. Smith and Ellis's book does this and more. The real and significant value of this collection of essays is its exploration of applications. The contributors, the editors among them, teach readers how to think through copyright issues and how to coach others to do the same. The book offers a framework of five questions to ask "clients" (a term intentionally deployed) to help them navigate copyright issues, and invites the reader to think about this navigation as a form of coaching. As Smith writes in the opening essay, librarians should "approach copyright education in libraries one person, and one unique set of issues, problems, and needs, at a time." This is important advice for both the copyright coach and the administrator allocating resources. The remaining nine essays offer case studies exploring aspects of coaching copyright in a wide variety of settings.

Graduate students, researchers, faculty, professionals. --Andrew Wesolek, Vanderbilt University
