December 2015 573 C&RL News

Welcome to the December 2015 issue of C&RL 
News. With the increasing popularity of institu-
tional open access policies, along with access to 
institutional repositories and other self-archiving 
sites, comes renewed focus on copyright issues. 
In this month’s Scholarly Communication col-
umn, Nancy Sims of the University of Minnesota 
unpacks copyright law for versions of scholarly 
works in her article “It’s all the same to me!”

While the fall term is just coming to an end, it’s 
never too early to start planning for recruitment and 
orientation activities. Elizabeth McMunn-Tetangco 
discusses the University of California-Merced’s 
adoption of a Buzzfeed style quiz to educate 
prospective new students about library services. 
Read about the program in “Where (in the library) 
do you belong?”

Kylie Bailin recounts Lafayette College’s ex-
periment with drawing inspiration from a popular 
movie series to jazz up their fi rst year library ori-
entation, along with lessons they learned from the 
future, in “From ‘The Research Games’ to tours.”

In this issue’s The Way I See It essay, Cynthia A. 

Romanowski writes about overcoming her tenure 
track and process fears after moving into a new 
position in her essay “First-time faculty librarian, 
fi rst year experience.” 

According to tradition, we also take a look back 
at ACRL’s accomplishments in advancing learning 
and transforming scholarship over the past fi scal 
year with our Annual Report. The report demon-
strates the progress the association has made in 
achieving the goals of the Plan for Excellence along 
with other programs and services. 

Help make the next year of your association 
as successful as the last by volunteering to serve 
on an ACRL committee. The call for volunteers is 
available on page 599. 

Make sure to check out the other features 
and departments this month, including Internet 
Resources on ornithology by Adrienne Warner and 
a preview of ACRL events at the upcoming 2016 
ALA Midwinter Meeting in Boston.

Thanks as always for reading the News, and 
we’ll see you in 2016.
