Negotiating Your Copyright: Join us on March 5th
The UCLA Library, Academic Senate, Academic Senate Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication, and the Office of Intellectual Property Administration have created a series of lunchtime sessions to educate faculty about special topics in intellectual property.
Faculty Lunch Series: “Don’t I Own My Own Work?”: Negotiating to Keep Your Copyright
Thursday, March 5; noon - 1:30 p.m.
Charles E. Young Research Library
As a UCLA faculty member, you must be productive in a “publish or perish” environment. But in your rush to publish, are you signing an agreement with your publisher without reading it fully or understanding its implications? You might unknowingly surrender your copyright and, along with it, the rights to use and reuse your work as you wish. Find out how to read author agreements and how to negotiate to keep your rights. Learn from colleagues who have efficiently negotiated agreements without risk to their academic advancement.
Attendance is limited to UCLA faculty. Admission is free, and lunch will be provided. Advance reservations are required. Register here.
