Episode 21: Matt Eicheldinger: Educator Turned Author
No full textMatt Eicheldinger, B.A. \u2709, M.A. \u2712 is an educator who used stories from his life to motivate his middle school students. When he found that not only were these stories effective, when written down, they inspired even the most reluctant of readers. This put Matt down a path of becoming a published author. In 2021, he launched a Kickstarter campaign to self-publish Matt Sprouts and The Curse of Ten Broken Toes. When the book became a hit, he was able to sign with an agent who quickly sold Matt Sprouts to a publisher. Matt shares how he became interested in being an educator, how he navigated the process of becoming a published author, and his future plans for more books

Authority Records and Copyright Determination
No full textMatt Carruthers is a NACO-trained cataloger and metadata projects librarian at the University of Michigan, where he creates and transforms metadata in support of library and university projects. He has experience with name authority metadata in both bibliographic and archival contexts, utilizing MARC and EAC-CPF, and he was a team member of the Remixing Archival Metadata Project (RAMP).
Kristina Eden is copyright instruction librarian for the University of Michigan Copyright Office. She leads the training team for the Copyright Review Management System, a series of three IMLS National Leadership Grant projects based at the University of Michigan which have collectively identified more than 239,000 public domain works. She helped initiate the pilot project to send author death dates found during the course of copyright review to NACO certified catalogers for updating authority records.What do Pride and Prejudice, Sherlock Holmes, British Insects and How to Identify Them, and Sixty Years a Bookman have in common? These books are all in the public domain, like many others collected on our library shelves. What information does it take to know if they are in the public domain, and where do enhanced authority records fit into this? Virtually all copyright terms around the world are based on some variation of the formula:
author’s life + years = copyright term
To calculate when a book enters the public domain, it is important to know the death date for the author.
For the past five years the IMLS-funded Copyright Review Management System (CRMS), based at the University of Michigan Library, identified public domain works one copyright determination at a time. As part of CRMS, we started to identify author death dates that were not already in authority records. We began depositing our discoveries of author death dates in NACO authority records as a pilot project in 2013 to enhance the data that has been so helpful to CRMS.
In this webinar we present our copyright-centric view of authority records and the impact you can make by simply adding an author death date. We will show you how NACO-trained catalogers improve authority records by including death date information that will be of value to a copyright review. We will also outline how cataloging practice relates to bibliographic copyright determination, including examples like federal documents, publication date range, and associated country.ALCTS, IMLS National Leadership Granthttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/110993/1/Authority Records and Copyright Determination.mp4Description of Authority Records and Copyright Determination.mp4 : Webinar presentatio
