COPYRIGHT NEWS

Over the past academic year, there have been decisions in several major and well known copyright cases that impact libraries such as HathiTrust, Georgia State and the Google Library Book Project (all of which have been discussed in previous issues of INSIDe). The common thread among all of them is the application of the fair use exception to different scenarios and facts.

In all three cases, fair use won which is a strong validation of not only the work we do here in the Libraries but in the fundamental mission of libraries. There is a slight possibility that several of the cases could be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court but the clock is ticking on that and there has been no overt movement to indicate that the affected parties are heading in that direction. If there are no further appeals and the current rulings stand, then what does that mean for Purdue Libraries?

It means that all of our due diligence, careful planning, evaluations and copyright analyses of our digital initiatives such as e-Pubs, e-Archives and PURR are consistent with the application of fair use in the above court cases. As we move forward with other digitization projects, the decisions in the court cases provides a roadmap for us to follow.

2015 LIBRARIES STUDENT AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS

PULSE Award

Andrea DaViera is a senior majoring in Psychological Sciences from West Lafayette, Indiana. She has worked four semesters in the HSSE library. Cindy Yeoman her supervisor said, “Andrea DaViera is a student that every employer would love to have. She takes on projects that others cringe over without even being asked. One of the projects she has taken as her own is the Children’s Literature section. It seems to always need some tender loving care. She has made this area her ongoing project and when she is here she always takes time to work in this area. Andrea is flexible in what she can do and we use her for various projects as in shifting, cloning, shelving, and other projects as needed. She will be greatly missed since she is graduating this year.”

"I have worked at the HSSE library for over 3 years and am amazed to have received a PULSE award and extremely thankful. The library is a wonderful place to work and has not only given me a means to financially support myself but has undoubtedly helped me as a student. I know from experience that there are not as many great people to work with or places to work like HSSE. I'm most appreciative for the opportunity to be here and the award,” said Andrea.

Jacinda Laymon is a senior in majoring in Psychological Sciences & Film and Video Studies from Martinsville, Indiana. She has worked in Auxiliary Serves for 5 semesters and in the Veterinary Medical Library. Dan Rotello said, “I always breathe a sigh of relief when I see Jacinda’s name on the schedule, because I know things will be fine!” Candy Scott said, “We are very fortunate to have Jacinda in Auxiliary services. She has been involved in numerous moves and projects big and small. I’m often asked, who is the girl that works for you, ‘she is really good and knows what she’s doing.’ Jacinda is very motivated and will tackle any job I give her. ‘I don’t know how’ is not in her vocabulary, she will ask questions and get the task done! She has a positive attitude about everything and is very enthusiastic, she is contagious! Tonya Wichterman said, “Working with Jacinda has been a true pleasure. When she came and asked about the position I had available, I knew of her work ethic from when Auxiliary Services had sent her over to work on projects in VETM. I jumped at the opportunity to have her work with us. Jacinda’s ever positive attitude makes her so easy to work with. She always does every project she is given to the best of her ability with speed and efficiency. I never worry about any job I ask her to do. I know that it will be accomplished well and she will do it with a smile on her face. Her customer service skills are amazing. She has a wonderful rapport with not only our patrons but her coworkers and the staff as well. I know Jacinda can achieve anything she sets her mind to in her future and we in VETM are blessed to have had the opportunity to have known her."

"I am honored to receive a PULSE award and I am incredibly grateful for this recognition. I came into the Purdue Libraries looking only for a steady paycheck to support my educational costs. However, during my few years here, I have gained so much more. I learn something new every single day that I work for the Libraries. The experience I have obtained has made me a better student, leader and person in general. Above all, I am thankful for my supervisors for their support, encouragement, and appreciation. The work we do is, at times tough, but the amazing people I work with make it enjoyable. I would like to thank the Purdue Libraries and my wonderful supervisors for recognizing my hard work with this award. Thank you for your generous support!" said Jacinda.

Katie Martin is a senior majoring in History and American Studies from Newburgh, Indiana. She has worked in Archives and Special Collections for the past 4 semesters and will be attending Indiana University in the fall to begin earning her Master of Library Science degree. Her supervisor, Neal Harmeyer said, “Within Archives and Special Collections, Katie has been responsible for a number of tasks, including: inventory and analysis of audio-visual reels, transcription and description of oral histories, and collection analysis. She has taken on a greater leadership role this past year, serving as a resource for the other undergraduate student workers in our department. Katie has been dependable, analytical, innovative, and deeply motivated to learn more about archival processing, preservation and access best practices. I count myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to supervise Katie for the last two years.”

“I have absolutely loved working in the Purdue Archives for the past two years and I am truly honored to receive a PULSE Award. I cannot thank Neal Harmeyer, my amazing supervisor, enough for all his encouragement and for not-so-subtly talking up IU's Library School. I am excited to pursue archives as a career and am forever indebted to Purdue Libraries for putting me on this path,” said Katie.

Lauren Niehaus is a senior majoring in Building Construction Management from Huntingburg, Indiana. She has worked in the Chemistry Library for 8 semesters and will graduate in May 2015. Sharon Sturgeon, her supervisor, said, “Lauren is the perfect example of what the PULSE award is all about. She exudes professionalism and maturity. Her cheerful, helpful demeanor provide a welcoming first contact for patrons as they enter the library. There was not a project that she could not handle in a timely, accurate manner, and no patron from which she could not eventually elicit a smile. Lauren began working with me as a freshman, and while it is with great pride that I watch her graduate, it is also with a heavy heart at losing her! In 28 years of supervising students I have not had one that was more deserving of this award.”

“I am extremely blessed and beyond excited to be receiving such a gracious award! I want to thank Purdue Libraries and specifically those in M.G. Mellon Library of Chemistry for allowing me the opportunity to work and investing in my future! Over the past four years I have spent many hours in that library to the point I recognize with it as I do my home. Upon graduation not only will I miss the life and opportunity Purdue University as a whole has provided for me but the Chemistry Library as well. I enjoyed the opportunity to work with the patrons and be able to provide them with more than just a service but and experience. Thank you!” said Lauren.

Dorothy Newby McCaw Scholarship

Emily Durkin is a junior double majoring in both History and Anthropology from Manhattan, Illinois. She has worked at the Virginia Kelly Karnes Archives and Special Collections for approximately one and a half years. Neal Harmeyer said, “Within Archives and Special Collections, Emily has taken on a number of projects, including inventory and analysis of audio-visual reels, shelf reading, collection digitization and description, and transcription. As her supervisor, I always feel confident that Emily will embrace any new task with eagerness and thoughtfulness. Emily often goes beyond expectations in her work, and her inquisitive and enthusiastic personality is infectious, encouraging her fellow students as well as our staff.”

“It is such a privilege to receive the Dorothy Newby McCaw Scholarship. Working in the Virginia Kelly Karnes Archives and Special Collections for the past year has been an amazing experience for me. Working in the Archives has provided many opportunities and has taught me valuable skills I will use in my career. The Archives is such an interesting place to work and I have learned so much from the wonderful staff and all of my colleagues. This scholarship will be very helpful to me in meeting the costs of being a student. I am so grateful for this honor and I want to thank all those involved in the scholarship selection for this award!” said Emily.

Matthew Groh is finishing up his second year at Purdue majoring in Professional Flight Technology, completing course work for Airport Management, and minoring in Atmospheric Sciences. Matthew was born in South Carolina, spent his childhood in Michigan and finished up his last years of high school in Lafayette, Indiana. His supervisor, Frances Christman said, “I inherited the job (and Matthew) from Dania Remaly when she retired. I didn’t have much time to adapt. Matthew was my lifeline and life preserver. He kept me afloat for the first stumbling steps. I quickly realized I had a gem of a student. With his help, I had AVTE running the way I had envisioned, and that is, mainly, due to Matt’s willingness to work, enthusiasm for customer service and his adaptability to change. I am so happy to have received such an inheritance.”

“I feel deeply honored to receive the Dorothy Newby McCaw Scholarship. When the opportunity to work in the Aviation Technology Library opened, I never realized what a positive impact it would have on my life. The AVTE library is chocked full of incredible resources, including historical documents on Purdue’s deep aviation history. After discovering the assets available in the library when I first arrived at Purdue, I set out to educate my fellow classmates, and developed a flight training study room filled with valuable information for Purdue’s flight students. Finally, the library has helped provide income toward paying the very expensive flight fees on top of tuition fees. This scholarship serves as a huge help toward reducing the large debt that comes with seeking a professional pilot career. I look forward to working in and continuing to improve the student experience in the Aviation Technology Library for years to come. Thank you again for this prestigious award,” said Matthew.  

Dr. Albert Viton Scholarship

Shelby Allen is a junior in the School of Nursing and from Brookville, Indiana. She has worked in the Hicks Repository for five semesters. Dot Lanzalotto, her supervisor said, “As our Active Learning Center is being built, Shelby's involvement with the relocation of print retention and microform collections is huge! Her work ethic is tremendous. Whether it be archiving collections in LYNN-R or HKRP, she is key to assisting this process for the entire library system.”

“Thank you so much for choosing me to receive the Albert Viton Scholarship. Working for Hicks Repository for the last five semesters has been an amazing opportunity. I truly enjoy working and learning from my colleagues and supervisors. I look forward to what my last year at the Repository has in store for me. I sincerely thank you again for this honor,” said Shelby.

Brooke Halteman is a junior majoring in professional writing from Normal, Illinois. She has worked in the Purdue University Press for four semesters. Katherine Purple, her supervisor said, “Brooke Halteman became the student coordinator of the Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research in the fall of 2013. She is the fourth student to hold this position in the Purdue University Libraries Publishing Division. Brooke works hard to manage both student and faculty collaboration throughout the year, culminating in the print and open access production of an annual volume highlighting the best undergraduate research taking place across campus.”

“I am extremely grateful and humbled to receive the Viton Scholarship award. Working with the Purdue University Press to publish the Journal of Purdue Undergraduate Research (JPUR) has been an invaluable experience over the past two years. Helping student researchers accomplish their goals of publication, recognizing the outstanding work they have done, and enabling them to further their careers by publishing with JPUR has been the most rewarding part of my job. This position has allowed me to pursue my own career goals as well by teaching me skills and lessons that cannot be learned in the classroom. It is with sincerest thanks that express my gratitude for this generous gift!” said Brooke.

Amelia Earhart Scholarship

The Amelia Earhart Scholarship is given annually in honor of Amelia Earhart, a remarkable and unique woman who demonstrated an exceptional desire to succeed in her chosen field. Earhart came to Purdue University in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help inspire others with her love for aviation. Recipients of this scholarship must exhibit exemplary leadership skills, determination and potential while possessing a minimum grade point average of 3.2 after 48 semester hours.

Amelia Earhart was a woman ahead of her time and still today continues to serve as an inspiring role model to all. She is a source of wisdom and inspiration for me as I develop my career, and I strive to emulate Amelia Earhart’s passion, commitment and determination every day in my patient care.”

Jennifer Hwang is a junior majoring in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences from Chicago, Illinois. She has served as the president of the Vietnamese Student Association, a team leader for Boiler Gold Rush, a mentor for Purdue Promise and Emerging Urban Leader Scholars, and is one of the three co-founders of the Peer Mentors program in Exploratory Studies.

“I am so grateful to those who have made the Amelia Earhart Scholarship possible. To fulfill my goal of becoming a large animal veterinarian, I have a long academic road ahead of me, and this scholarship has thankfully helped ease this path. Just as Amelia cared for the wounded during World War I and became a role model for countless young women through her passion for flying, I hope to care for the livelihoods of dedicated Agriculturalists by caring for their livestock one day and act as a role model for other young women who hope to enter into the livestock industry.”

Christy Reick is a junior majoring in Biochemistry-Chemistry ACS and minoring in Biological Sciences from Hebron, Indiana. Christy is currently an active undergraduate researcher in the Szymanski Lab as well as a teaching assistant for Biology 110/111.

She has served as a member of a team that volunteered in Nicaragua and has been a Team Leader for Boiler Gold Rush. She also attends First Presbyterian Church of Crown Point and actively participates in intramural sports here at Purdue.

“I am so incredibly honored to be selected as an Amelia Earhart Scholarship recipient. My family and I are beyond grateful to have this financial burden lifted off of us. I have many more years of schooling ahead of me while pursuing my dream of becoming a medical doctor. I am highly motivated by women like Amelia Earhart, who exemplify independence and are highly driven to complete the goals they have set before them. In my time here at Purdue, as well as in my future as a doctor, I have and will always strive to exude the traits that Amelia Earhart did and still inspires people through.”
