Copyright & Distance Education Online: A Discussion
A summary of recent and pending legislation having implications for
distance education, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA),
will lead off the event. Attendees then will be asked to respond to
questions and scenarios posed by the moderators, bringing their own
teaching and professional experiences to the discussion, and interacting
with meeting moderators and others participating. In the true spirit of a
"town meeting," active engagement by everyone in the issues raised and
healthy debate of the complex problems being encountered in such areas as
fair use of copyrighted materials and ownership of digital-based courses
will be encouraged.
Speakers/Facilitators
James Boyle, Professor of Law, American University
Peggy Hoon, North Carolina State University's scholarly communication
librarian

ABOUT THE NINCH COPYRIGHT & FAIR USE TOWN MEETINGS
With support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the National Initiative
for a Networked Cultural Heritage is sponsoring a series of six Copyright
Town Meetings for the cultural community during the year 2000.
The series of day-long and half-day meetings builds on the popular 1997-98
Town Meetings on Copyright & Fair Use, organized jointly with the American
Council of Learned Societies and the College Art Association, which focused
on the Conference on Fair Use and its aftermath.
The 2000 series of Town Meetings will be held in Chicago, Syracuse, New
York City, Chapel Hill, San Francisco and Baltimore and will be hosted by
the Chicago Historical Society, Syracuse and Cornell Universities, the
College Art Association, the Triangle Research Library Network (North
Carolina), the Visual Resources Association and the American Association of
Museums.
Issues to be covered by the meetings include changes in copyright law as it
affects working on-line; fair use and its on-line future; the status of the
public domain; ownership and access of on-line copyrighted material;
distance education; and the development and implementation of institutional
and organizational copyright policies and principles.
A hallmark of the Town Meetings will be the balance of expert opinion and
audience participation. Speakers include, among others: Robert Baron,
Howard Besser, Kathleen Butler, Kenneth Crews, Eric Eldred, Jane Ginsburg,
Dakin Hart, Peter Hirtle, Tyler Ochoa, Rodney Petersen, Christine Sundt,
Barry Szczesny, Sandy Thatcher, Richard Weisgrau and Diane Zorich.
