“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.
Gretchen McCord did a fantastic job of tailoring a day-long copyright workshop for Kansas State University faculty to their particular interests. She gave faculty the grounding they needed to understand and apply the slippery concept of fair use. For what is potentially a very dry topic, Gretchen maintained a high energy level and kept faculty engaged during the entire session. At a Faculty Senate meeting following the workshop, a faculty member congratulated the Library for sponsoring the event, but all the credit goes to Gretchen.
