A new exhibit is now showing in the North Exhibition Hall in the Main
Library on campus. "Open Book: The Book Studies Community at the
University of Iowa" runs through January of 2000. The virtual exhibition
can be viewed at: http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/exhibits/center/
The Book Studies Community at the University of Iowa consists of a diverse
interdisciplinary mix of faculty, staff, and students, with interests in
all facets of book production, distribution, and use. Some actively
research the history of the book, examining the role of books in cultural
and historical processes, and how changes in book production affect the
way books are viewed as artifacts. Specialists in the arts and
technologies of the book study the history and technique of the book
crafts, including letterpress and offset printing, typography,
calligraphy, papermaking, and bookbinding. Still others engage in the
conservation or the production of books, including artists' books and
literary fine press publications. Local book specialists, through their
expertise and enthusiasm, are a vital part of this growing community. This
exhibition is an overview of some of the faculty, staff, students,
facilities and area book specialists associated with the increasingly
multi-dimensional field of Book Studies.
"Open Book: The Book Studies Community at the University of Iowa" was
prepared by Timothy Barrett, Lissa Lord, David Schoonover, Rijn Templeton,
and Carlette Washington-Hoagland, with assistance from Cynthea Mosier,
Gary Frost, and Suzanne Micheau. We wish to thank Barry Moser for lending
special materials from his personal collection. We wish to acknowledge
additional support from the University of Iowa Center for the Book.
This exhibition is sponsored by the Friends of the University of Iowa
Libraries.

Revised Announcement for the Public Briefing and Symposium on
THE DIGITAL DILEMMA:
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN THE INFORMATION AGE
The Computer Science and Telecommunications Board
will release its new report The Digital Dilemma at
a public briefing and symposium on Wednesday,
November 3, 1999, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
at the Georgetown Facility of the National Research
Council in Washington, DC.
**REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED (see below).**
If you have already registered there is no need to reregister.
Advances in computer technology and networks confound
the system of intellectual property, which is evolving
in a legal context that began with the Constitution.
These technological advances make more intellectual
property possible, from more sources and in more places,
than ever before. At the same time, these technological
advances enable more approaches to controlling the supply
and use of intellectual property.
How does it all add up for citizens, businesses, schools,
libraries, and government? What can we learn from today's
MP3 craze in digital music distribution? Does the new
"information economy" make the legal tradition of intellectual
property obsolete?
The Digital Dilemma discusses the complex labyrinth of technology,
law, economics, social science, and public policy that shapes digital
intellectual property, with an emphasis on copyright. Acknowledging
and describing profound differences in outlook among stakeholders, it
illuminates the major policy issues relating to intellectual property in
the networked environment, describes the principal differences in
opinion on those issues, distinguishes among the more and less
tractable issues, and offers recommendations. Specific issues
examined include the implications of digital intellectual property for
fair use, private use, public access and archiving,
technical protection mechanisms, business models, and much more.
The November 3rd event is designed to stimulate discussion of intellectual
property issues associated with the networked environment. The issues,
the politics, and the policies will evolve over the next few years, and
the conversation must be seen as a continuing one. Beginning with a
presentation of the new report, The Digital Dilemma, it will expand into a
broader discussion of the issues.
The Digital Dilemma is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
**Registration is Required by October 29th: Confirmation of your
attendance and specific questions on meeting logistics should be
directed to Margaret Marsh at mmarsh@nas.edu or 202-334-2605.**
