Back to scary copyright law this week. I think that in all of my coursework, copyright is the one thing that makes me dread being the librarian. The law is just so convoluted and when I read the section in the Simpson book about the "shrinkwrap license" I felt pretty discouraged. How does one really prevent falling victim to something like that? Further I would feel more comfortable with making sure that I myself was following the law, it's monitoring the building that makes me uncomfortable. I did like the examples of letters that were given and they definitely make requesting permission seem more possible.
I was happy to read more about podcasting. This is what I am most looking forward to in my own school library. I think that podcasts are something that students would really get excited about, especially if they can hear themselves speak through a podcast. While parent permission would be necessary to create a podcast of the children and may be a pain to obtain, I think it would be worth it and would make for a great learning experience.
