What to Wear
Posted: December 10, 2008 Filed under: Advice, Advice: New Professionals, Fun, Opportunities: Events | Tags: fashion, youth Comments Offreposted from http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2008/12/05/what-to-wear/
What TO Wear
What’s your look? Do you, or someone you know, have a professional fashion sense that you think others can learn from? Do you like to find just the right clothing that combines your individual style with a professional appearance? If so, then you could walk the runway at YALSA’s first ever fashion event hosted by Steven Rosengard of Project Runway Season 4!
We’re searching for 20-30 librarians who walk the walk and look the look when they work with teens and their advocates in libraries! We want to find librarians who can demonstrate how to dress professionally without having to spend a lot of money and while keeping a sense of personal style.
If you are interested in walking the runway, submit the What TO Wear application (file in pdf) along with 2 photos or a short video (no more than 3 minutes), that you think showcases your style (or the style of your nominee).
If you have questions about the application or process contact Nichole Gilbert, ngilbert@ala.org.

Art, Access, and the Public Domain after Bridgeman v. Corel
Public Panel Discussion
Cosponsored by:
Art Law Committee, New York City Bar Association
College Art Association

Panelists:
Dr. Theodore Feder, President, Art Resource, Artists Rights Society
Christopher Lyon, Executive Editor, Prestel Publishing
William Patry, Senior Copyright Counsel, Google
Hon. Richard A. Posner, United States Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit
Maureen Whalen, Associate General Counsel, J. Paul Getty Trust

When: Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Where: The Great Hall, New York City Bar Association, 42 W. 44th Street, New York City
Who owns the Mona Lisa? In Bridgeman Art Library Ltd. v. Corel Corp. (S.D.N.Y. 1999), Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ruled that exact photographic copies of two-dimensional public domain works of art are not copyrightable under U.S. law, because such images are not original. Yetnearly a decade after that decision, copyright in many such images continues to be asserted.
This program addresses questions currently debated across the worlds of art, publishing, and the law:
Should access to public domain artworks control uses of images of thoseworks? When and how should custodians of public domain artworks exercise control over reproductions of them? How does contract intersect with copyright in the control of image uses? Does the image permissions hurdle play a role in the decline of art publishing, or are the complaints of critics overwrought? What is the nature of the public domain with respect to works of art?
This program is free and open to the public; no reservation required. Seating is limited.

One year ago, a federal judge ruled that retail stores with an online presence can be sued if their web site is not accessible to the blind. Although federal law (Section 508 of the American Rehabilitation Act) pertains primarily to federal agencies, it is now obvious that all organizations with a web presence are subject to legal recourse in content on their web sites is not accessible. Dr. Robins will discuss legal requirements and standards for accessibility, and how to design sites that are accessible.
David B. Robins is an Assistant Professor in the Interdisciplinary Program in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM) at Kent State University. He teaches courses in information design, information architecture, usability and content management systems. He is conducting research in usability, and the impact of aesthetics on web site credibility and usability.
