<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'>Hello! I just wanted to give
you an update on the Rule of Use discussion. Esther, Paige, Heidi and I (your
CSLP reps) have been saving your feedback, and encourage you to continue the
discussion online so we can get more input from more Oregon librarians.
The four of us have started discussing how to compile your feedback and use it
to start a discussion with other state representatives prior to the next CSLP
meeting. Our hope is that other states will start collecting feedback
from their libraries to bring to the next CSLP meeting too. Then, we can
approach the CSLP Executive Board together. As Karen Fischer said in an
earlier email on this topic, we need to speak with a united voice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'>The better we understand the
current Rules of Use the better we can advocate for change. Several
comments have been made around who owns the copyright. Just to clarify, the
introduction to the Rules of Use state that the artists owns the copyright to
their work, and the vendor negotiates with the artists for exclusive use of
their art for both CSLP members and the vendor. I also have a question
out to the Chair of the Rules of Use committee regarding the history around the
Rules of Use, and will let you know her answer as soon as I have it. If you
have any questions about the Rules of Use please let me know, if I don’t
know the answer I’ll ask the CSLP Rules of Use Chair.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'>If you aren’t comfortable
participating in this conversation via the listserv, but you would like
contribute feedback for us to share with CSLP please send a personal email to
me at <a href="mailto:katie.anderson@state.or.us">katie.anderson@state.or.us</a>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>We actually joined the Collaborative the year I was the CSD chair
and looking for ways to save the Oregon Statewide Summer Reading
Program.Debra's year was the first full year of implementation in
Oregon. I'm not sure how far we want to go back into the reasons we joined
CLSP but at the time we did, joining CLSP <strong><u><span style='font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif"'>saved</span></u></strong> the Oregon Statewide Summer
Reading Program. Prior to being a member of CLSP Oregon had been
originally been doing our own statewide manual which required a lot of energy,
time, travel and work and wasn't always the best. Then, during the time
we were partnering with Metropolitan Group, we had great art and materials
which were much more expensive, and ended up with an enormous debt which
took two years+ to resolve. I don't want to go back to those days.
This would mean taking a giant step back in summer reading.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>I am extremely disappointed to hear that Highsmith basically wants
to have a monopoly on anything CSLP. I know that the company will use the
art again, at least a year later, for a more general reading promotion.
Are they afraid that all of us are going to dig out our CD's from years past
and incorporate the artwork once again? Are they afraid they are going to
miss a buck? Highsmith makes a lot of money from the CSLP. A lot of
money! One of the biggest reasons for joining CLSP is have access to high
quality artwork and a complete summer reading manual. Libraries on a
small budget/no budget were able to produce high quality summer reading
materials and programs. Some libraries do purchase a lot of
materials, others do not. That's OK. Does Highsmith think
they are not selling as much CLSP material because we are creating our
own? Are sales down this year? Of course, library budgets are down
this year as well. Is Highsmith reacting to the economy and taking it out
on CLSP? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'>Has anyone talked with the Executive Board of CLSP to let them know
what kind of hardship the limitation of use of the art will be? So many
libraries across the nation are facing bigger and bigger finanacial cuts and
the CLSP is one thing that has been affordable, optional to use and helps
create support for libraries on a united front both statewide and nationwide.
Also, I don't know if Highsmith would enjoy having negative press about
something such as Summer Reading. I remember, when CLSP was small they
had a much stronger voice because Highsmith wanted their business. This
situation makes me feel as if Highsmith has taken over the CLSP program and
they now call the shots. Say this isn't so. I hope enough states
are speaking up to both CLSP and Highsmith this is not acceptable. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I agree with BJ; my memory, from serving as CSD chair the year
that Oregon joined the collaborative, is that originally CSLP did solely own
the copyright to the art and did not own it jointly with Highsmith. So I
believe that has changed over the years. I agree that many libraries, including
ours, are or could be easily priced out of the market with Highsmith’s
materials. We don’t use reading records, but if we did have to purchase
the 7500+ that we’d need, it would put a large dent in either our
programming or the number of free books we could give away. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Perhaps the cost of using a well-known illustrator has
sky-rocketed in the past five years. But it is also true that this year and
last year, we have liked only a few of the individual clip art graphics and
have disliked several of them and chosen not to use them anyway. So many
libraries or states might be happy with lower cost art from lesser known
artists? Just some more thoughts for our representatives to take to the
meeting, thank you-<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
