Book Review: Developing Authorship and Copyright Ownership Policies: Best Practices

Abstract

Developing Authorship and Copyright Ownership Policies: Best Practices is a useful and concise publication that provides clarification to copyright questions that libraries frequently encounter. As many librarians in academic, public, school, and tribal libraries are working to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into their organizational practices, Allyson Mower’s text is especially timely. This nuts-and-bolts guide to policy development is laid out in a format that is both intuitive and useful. While it is relatively short, there is a dense amount of information contained within this book. In particular, the first fifty pages provide guidance and insight to the reader on conceptual and practical tenets of policy development.
