Description: From School Library Journal
It has become increasingly difficult for media specialists to be aware of and understand laws and policies that affect many aspects of the school media center. This guide offers a detailed examination of subjects that need to be addressed, either by gaining a thorough understanding; adopting a policy; or providing information to students, staff, and the community. Individual chapters explore topics such as license agreements, how the Americans with Disabilities Act affects libraries, Webliographies, filters, student Web pages, and equal opportunity employment. Several chapters focus on copyright laws and practices and include a section on tracing copyright. Advice and regulations addressing what can be copied, taped, and used on school Web sites will be helpful for both media specialists and teachers. Comprehensive yet readable, this guide is logically organized and solidly supported by examples and references. An indispensable resource.
