Knowledge IS about relationships. This session got me thinking about how the library is often 'out of the loop' when it comes to decision making around AI, IP, and other areas relevant to rights retention. How do we make those connections and get a seat at the table?

As Timothy Snyder says about authoritarianism - same is true in this space. Slightly less revolutionary if that's scary - try something and if needed ask forgiveness, not permission

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A graphic edition of historian Timothy Snyder's lessons for surviving and resisting America's arc toward authoritarianism, featuring the visual storytelling talents of renowned illustrator Nora Krug "Nora Krug has visualized and rendered some of the most valuable lessons of the twentieth century, which will serve all citizens as we shape the future."-Shepard Fairey, artist and activist
Timothy Snyder's New York Times bestseller On Tyranny uses the darkest moments in twentieth-century history, from Nazism to Communism, to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. Among the twenty include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow ("4: Take responsibility for the face of the world"), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent ("11: Investigate"), a point to use personalized and individualized speech rather than clichéd phrases for the sake of mass appeal ("9: Be kind to our language"), and more.

In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive art style in Belonging-at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memories-to breathe new life, color, and power into Snyder's riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasizes the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance.

I am definitely inspired to implement something like this in a more 'low key' way at least, at my own university in relation to climate change papers, this is a terrific idea.

I'm interested in learning more about how other countries have integrated author rights into law. This isn't something I thought of as being possible - thanks for expanding my understanding of the possible approaches to rights retention / open access publishing. Always heartening to see that broad systemic changes are possible.

Inspired to do something similar (in a more low key way) at my own institution.

Strengthen the clauses on Rights Retention in our OA and IP policies. Especially the OA policy as this is a Library policy, then spread the word.

Sorry if this posts twice - I don't think my first go at posting this came up.

Loved hearing about the broad legislative changes some countries have made around author's rights to share their work. Makes me feel like this broad, systems level change is possible! Heartening.

So far, there has been no litigation by publishers for depositing an article in a repository

We know the answers, we really do. But we, as institutions, lack the courage to do them. And we refuse to fight the competitive environment we're forced into. We need to move into collaborative spaces, share resources, ideas, money.

Infrastructure. Skills. People. Indigeneity.

Very librarian of me - but creating collections so that researchers are giving AAMS as part of something as opposed to random AAM requests from us.

Have legal advice that we can share with university legal council to explain rights retention. Our legal team is not that familiar with publisher agreements or copyright, but they are the "experts" who are asked for advice on anything IP related. Do librarians at other universities have similar hurdles?
