Anne Gilliland, MSLIS, JD

After several decades' of work as a university librarian and for a library consortium, I went to law school in mid-life.  I came to work at Carolina in June 2012.

Education

• M.S. in Library and Information Sciences, University of Tennessee
• J.D., Capital University, Columbus OH

Research Interests

• Privacy issues in health sciences archives and special collections.
• Copyright information needs in the academy.

My role as Scholarly Communications Officer is to design and implement a program that will position the UNC Library to take full advantage of and contribute to the evolution of scholarly publishing practices within the academy.  I provide guidance, policy development, and advocacy to faculty, students, and staff on  the following issues:

• Copyright and fair use
• Authors' rights
• Privacy rights
• Open access
• Other information policy issues important to the creation and use of scholarly material

I offer consultations to individuals and small groups on a variety of scholarly communications issues.  We can communicate face to face, by phone, or by email.  

I offer workshops and presentations on copyright, scholarly publishing, and related topics held at the library, at your office, in a department meeting area, or a classroom.  

Topics include  copyright issues when reproducing images on websites, copyright when preparing scholarly papers, issues with publishing contracts, copyright issues with music or video projects, and best practices when using photographs of people online.  

I tailor examples and emphases to the discipline and subject area, and I can also adjust the length of the presentation to your needs.
