John Schlipp, Intellectual Property Librarian, has written a book entitled Intellectual Property and Information Rights for Librarians.

It covers copyright and fair use, patents, trademarks, scholarly communications, and legal and ethical information policies for academic, public, school, and special libraries. This resource provides real-world scenarios and best practices. It presents the important topics of patents, trademarks, and copyrights in relation to intellectual property creators and consumers.
