Published by the Association of Research Libraries and written by library licensing experts, this guide is intended for librarians and library professionals who license electronic resources (e-Resources). E-resource license agreements can be challenging to understand, much less negotiate. This guide puts complex legal concepts and terms into understandable language for those librarians and library professionals without legal training. For each term of an e-resource license agreement, the book explores: essentials of the law, desired results, desired language, tricks and traps, and overall importance and risk. Additional sections and practical tools will be added over time. The authors welcome feedback from the library community to help shape future updates: licensingbook@arl.org.

The Local Development and Local Opportunities book is one of the first of its kind, in particular in the context of development of the small Anatolian cities. The book, on one hand, discusses opportunities offered by the small Anatolian cities; and on the other hand, shares new proposals for potential development programs. The book, as the last in a series of new academic activities between 2016-2018, is related to development concerns in a self-organized small city in the Eastern Anatolia.

Bu kitabı, benzer diğer yayınlardan ayıran temel özellikleri; Anadolu’nun nispeten daha az gelişmiş, gelir dağılımından daha az pay alan şehirleri özelinde düzenlenen örnek ve ender akademik etkinliklerden birinin; uygulamalı bir akademik çalışmanın sonuçlarını raporlaştırması, kalıcı bir yayına dönüştürmesi ve yine bu sonuçları ildeki, ülkedeki ilgili kurum ve kuruluşlar ile paylaşılacak kalıcı bir eser haline getirmeyi amaçlamasıdır. Kitap, bu doğrultuda, küçük Anadolu şehirlerinin kalkınması konusu özelinde bir referans yayın haline gelmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

This online library exhibition celebrates the magnificent diversity of languages that advance research, teaching, and learning at the University of California, Berkeley. Taking place between February 2019 and October 2020, it was the point of embarkation for an exciting sequential exhibit that built on one post per week, showcasing an array of digitized works in the original language chosen by those who work with these languages on a daily basis — librarians, professors, lecturers, staff, and students. Since its founding in 1868, students and faculty at UC Berkeley have concerned themselves with a breathtaking range of languages. In support of teaching and research, the University Library, which collects and preserves materials in all languages, now boasts a collection of more than thirteen million volumes. It is among the largest academic libraries in the U.S. with more than one third of its print resources in more than 500 non-English languages.

Scholia are the annotations found in medieval manuscripts of Greek authors. They are found in the margins and between the lines of a primary text, or occasionally gathered in a separate codex or section of a codex. The annotations represent an amalgamation of commentary and glosses made over a long period of time, from the 2nd century BCE to the Renaissance, and designed for a wide spectrum of users, from professional scholars and advanced teachers to learners using the primary text as a means of learning classical Greek vocabulary, grammar, and style.
This edition is part of a long-term, open-ended project to provide a more extensive accounting of the annotations on the tragedies of Euripides than ever before. This book provides a continuation of the first part, which covered annotations on Orestes 1–500. This edition contains updated front matter, including addenda and corrigenda to the first part, and the annotations on Orestes 501–1100.
The two eBooks together represent the version of the online edition of scholia at EuripidesScholia.org as of Release 2.1 (2023). This version is intended for digital preservation purposes. Updates and greater functionality are available at the online site.

Until now, humanities researchers conducting text data mining in the U.S. have had to maneuver through a thicket of legal issues without much guidance or assistance.

UC Berkeley Library led more than a dozen institutions in submitting (and receiving) a grant to create a National Endowment for the Humanities Institute entitled Building Legal Literacies for Text Data Mining (Building LLTDM). We wanted to empower digital humanities researchers and professionals (librarians, consultants, and other institutional staff) to confidently navigate United States law, policy, ethics, and risk within digital humanities text data mining projects—so that they could more easily engage in this type of research and contribute to the advancement of knowledge.

On June 23-26, 2020, we welcomed 32 digital humanities researchers and professionals to the institute. After months of preparation, we had been looking forward to working and learning together at UC Berkeley, but the world had other plans. Due to the global health crisis, we had to transform our planned in-person, intensive workshop into an interactive and relevant remote experience.

The pandemic meant we had to transition everything online. The substantive content was pre-recorded and delivered in a flipped classroom model. Faculty created a series of short videos, and shared readings relevant to the legal literacies. We also provided the video transcripts and slides to participants to promote accessibility and accommodate multiple learning styles.

This book explores the legal literacies covered during the virtual institute, including copyright (both U.S. and international law), technological protection measures, privacy, and ethical considerations. It describes in detail how we developed and delivered the 4-day institute, and also provides ideas for hosting shorter literacy teaching sessions. Finally, we offer reflections and take-aways on the institute.
