would like to see delegates to CSLP actively lobby for changes to this
rule. There seems to be less validity in participating in a
cooperative that disallows use of the summer reading program clip art for
customized reading logs, final certificates, etc. While I understand that
Highsmith would like to be sole source for all things reading club, their pricing
doesn't make it possible for many, many libraries to order their
products. While I value things that many libraries would never be able to
afford - a large vinyl banner in full color, a variety of t-shirts sporting the
summer theme, full color bookmarks - I question the wisdom of CSLP negotiating
a contract that won't allow a small library to print off reading logs or
certificates on their photocopier using that summer's clip art. One of
the main reasons for joining this cooperative was the ability to obtain high
quality art work that would have been unaffordable for Oregon to obtain on its
own. However, the strength of branding is negated when libraries are not
allowed to use that artwork to create their summer reading materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>I
know from when I was the CSLP rep that Highsmith enjoys a really wonderful
return on the investment it makes of time and money to produce these
materials. I also know that CSLP benefits with a percentage kickback from
Highsmith that can be used to reinvest in continuing this venture from year to
year. I don't think that either entity would find participation in future
years unaffordable if this rule was changed. Perhaps total income would
go down but making this program work for libraries with smaller reading club budgets
should be an important aspect as well. Finally, if this is untenable
to Highsmith, we all know of other vendors who might be interested in
collaborating with CSLP, even with the change in clip art rules. While
I'm not advocating for moving from Highsmith as our vendor, I do think that the
rules for use of clip art are in drastic need of change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'>Hello! I just received the
following question, and thought you all might like to know the answer.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Katie,
maybe I am misunderstanding but it seems that some of the Oregon libraries are
misunderstanding the copyright issue – basically to not compete with items
already sold by Highsmith/upstart? I think they are seeing it as all clipart
being copyrighted by highsmith and unable to be used by them when in fact they
can use the clipart for their everything that is not duplicating what highsmith
currently sales in their catalog? If I’m wrong on this, please correct me. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thanks!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'>Yes, you are correct! Both
the clip-art in the manual and by the artists can be used for products that do
not duplicate what Highsmith currently offers. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'>The clarification is around what is
considered a duplication of paper products. For example, many libraries
around the country have different reading goals/records, therefore the reading
records offered by Highsmith don’t work for them. In the past we thought
it was OK to use the clip-art to create our own reading record because
Highsmith didn’t offer a similar reading record. This year we learned
that since Highsmith offers <b><i><u>a</u></i></b> reading record we can’t use
the clip-art to create a different type of reading record. We can still
use the art on sign-up forms, events calendars, booklists, event
promotions/signs/brochures, and other materials not available to purchase from
Highsmith/Upstart.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
