Audience
 
Audience is sometimes criticized as a term for communicating a one-way relationship that holds GLAMs in a position of authority with the public as a passive actor, spectator, or receiver of information. In this resource, “audience” carries a more dynamic meaning refers to audiences are participants who hold their own agency and authority.

Author
 
Author is a legal term used to refer to a person who makes a creative work and first owns the rights associated with it. With a literary work (like a book), the author is the writer. With an artistic work (like a painting), the author is the artist. With music (like a composition), the author is the composer, and so on. It may seem counterproductive to refer to this diverse group of creators as “authors.” But copyright law does not make distinctions among the authors of creative works. (See also Rights holder.)
