Bibliography
Donna L. Ferullo is the director of the University Copyright Office at Purdue University and is also associate professor of library science. Ms. Ferullo advises the University on copyright compliance issues and is responsible for educating the Purdue University community on their rights and responsibilities under the copyright law.
Academic librarians, deans, and administrators are often the go-to
source on a college campus for copyright information. Given the
numerous laws, guidelines, and policies that surround copyright
issues, however, misunderstanding and confusion are the norm and
the chances of a library professional providing misinformation can
be high. Ferullo presents an invaluable look at common copyright
situations in higher education. The book is divided into chapters
by audience type, including librarians, administrators, and
students. There are also chapters relevant to those institutions
looking for guidance on how to establish a copyright office or
copyright officer. While the scenarios presented are incredibly
complex, the lists of questions provided for each increase
understanding of that particular situation while providing
necessary information higher education professionals can use to
conduct a thorough reference interview or design a plan of action.
VERDICT Working with copyrighted materials is a necessary part of
the learning and teaching process in higher education. This work
allows librarians to better understand the complexities of
situations as they arise and guides readers toward additional
resources of interest.
*Library Journal*
This book demonstrates Ms. Ferullo’s mastery of the legal and
library science aspects of copyright; the book’s organization also
shows her extensive knowledge of her audience and their copyright
information needs. . . .Managing Copyright is unique in that the
role and location of a copyright office in an institution is
explained with the possible placement of such an office within the
administrative framework of the institution. Ms. Ferullo makes a
compelling case for the establishment of a copyright office within
the university and having a copyright officer with necessary
qualifications. . . .Managing Copyright in Higher Education is an
important addition to every academic library and will appeal to
librarians, administrators and staff, faculty, and students.
