Possible ADA problem in the making
by lois-sez 22 Jan '19

22 Jan '19

As both a performer and librarian I was approached by a librarian for ideas on a possible ADA problem that could easily become a problem for all libraries. I'm also the mother of a hearing impaired daughter and appreciate the posting on program publicity about providing assistance with advance notice. This, however, might take that stated assistance and create problems with copyright, privacy and more. The library has a homebound resident wanting initially video access to library board meetings. They have been providing that by having a staff member tape them. Now there is a similar request to permit attending programs this way. The library would be unable to do this with their movie program and can see this being a problem beyond that for other programs. I agreed. Musicians, for example, would be ruled out for most 20th century music. The venue, not the performer, is liable for payment of royalties. As a storyteller, only material in the Public Domain would be able to be used. Sometimes I have received permission as long as electronic reproduction is not made. What would this do for Fair Use when a librarian does a storytime? It definitely goes beyond what is permitted under Fair Use. When the library director brought up privacy concerns for the audience, I suggested the camera angle avoid the audience. Later, thinking about my own programs, I realized this also will affect audience participation in a program, requiring permission forms. As an example of the latter, and the copyright issues, I told the director about a program I'm developing about prohibition (High Times in the Dry Times) which stretches from Michigan's entry into prohibition two years before the entire nation until its ending in 1933. This would possibly require royalties for some music such as "Happy Days Are Here Again." (Fortunately the Charleston and the song "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" just entered Public Domain.) The point is both lectures and concerts may require library payment for both spoken text and music still under copyright. (That could include some preschool songs if a child or, in this case, grandparent want to "attend" with a grandchild.) Looking at those privacy concerns, I plan to have individuals in the audience show large pictures about what I'm discussing. That idea of camera angles could require anyone not wishing to be seen sit behind the camera. Try that with preschoolers. I gave her the number of a lawyer particularly attuned to the copyright/royalty issue, but I'd love to have others here add their thoughts and suggestions before this becomes a new standard for libraries.

The University may find it necessary to test fordrugs after a major safety violation or prior to clearance at time ofemployment." Southgate Veterans Library The new law alreadyprohibits use of recreational marijuana in public places. It also lookslike places that are drug free can still discipline employees who use marijuanaat work, or come in high.
