Testimonial Marian

"I've been to a lot of workshops on copyright throughout my career, and this was - by far - the best!" was the feedback from one participant in a copyright workshop Gretchen McCord presented to regional librarians and faculty members at Tyler Junior College. Gretchen is an authoritative and engaging source of current and up-to-date legal advice with an excellent grasp of a topic that overwhelms most of us. Perhaps most importantly, she has the ability to take a subject as amorphous as copyright and turn it into a fascinating workshop full of examples and down-to-earth explanations.
