[aisle] Publishers extending permissions

Tue Aug 4 15:57:56 CDT 2020

If you read this paper <https://tinyurl.com/read-aloud-online> (or listen
to the YouTube recording <https://youtu.be/Og0DgELl3_4>), you'll learn from
a panel of experts that legally you don't need author or publisher
permission in order to make a recording.  It is, of course, BEST PRACTICE
to look for author or professional recordings where they exist. However, if
you want to record a book for your students for an educational reason, you
can. However, it would also be BEST PRACTICE to put that recording behind a
password-protected wall (like on an LMS, Google Classroom, a private
YouTube channel, or a private Facebook page) and not out on the open
internet. And when I make a recording, I always make sure that I've
acknowledged the author, illustrator, and publisher. I also remove my
recordings as soon as the lessons that they were intended to accompany are
completed.  I strongly believe that authors, illustrators, and
copyright holders
should profit from their work. In these unprecedented circumstances,
however,  I feel like we librarians (and teachers) who are now teaching
exclusively online are "advocate[ing] balance between the interests of
information users and rights holders" (ALA 2008) as best we can in this
situation, and that we are upholding our standard to "advocate for
equitable access to and the ethical use of resources in a variety of
formats” (AASL 2019, 5).

Educating our students is going to be quite challenging this year.  We
don't have to make it harder by denying them access to books.
