Right before the Public Library Association Conference in Philadelphia last week, there was another important get together in New York: the Association of American Publishers (AAP) annual meeting held on March 14, as LJ reported. AAP today posted videos of all four panels, two of particular interest to librarians are below.
The first video here is of a panel called “Redefining the Dialogue between Libraries and Publishers.” It featured Molly Raphael, President, American Library Association; Jim Neal, Vice President, Information Services and University Librarian, Columbia University; and Dr. Anthony Marx, President and CEO, New York Public Library. The trio discussed how the traditional library/publisher relationships are evolving with the changes in content and distribution.
The second panel is the opening keynote address by Maria Pallante, the Register of Copyrights, U.S. Copyright Office, Library of Congress, in which she discusses the role of the U.S. Copyright Office in the digital space and the influence of the Executive Branch and Congress in policies surrounding content distribution and access.
