ESLN Services Webinar: Ask the Lawyer

Please join us for this nine-part webinar series exploring the various services the Empire State Library Network has to offer.

Webinar Description:

“Ask the Lawyer” (ATL) is a resource-sharing effort to give libraries, museums and archives access to timely guidance and advice about legal issues impacting mission and operations. Since 2016, the ATL service has been providing answers to members of participating Library Resource Councils in New York State. ATL features questions submitted by librarians, connecting real-world situations to practical, timely, and ethics-focused legal commentary, on topics such as Ethics, Copyright, Trademark, Not-for-Profit law, Information access, CPLR 4509, Contracts, Format transfer, Preservation, Library policies, and more.

About the Presenter:

Stephanie A. Adams, Esq. (Nickname: Cole), is an attorney practicing from her own law firm in Buffalo, NY. Adams chose a career in the law so she could focus her professional life on the law's impact on creativity and communication. She has also worked as a print and broadcast journalist. Adams's extensive writing on legal issues facing today's libraries, including issues impacting the freedom to read, can be seen regularly on the "Ask the Lawyer" service, hosted by the Western New York Library Resources Council.
