About the conference
This conference aims to explore the implications of the 'new technologies'
in terms of both teaching and research and, crucially, in broader social
and ethical terms. The conference will focus not on technical aspects, but
on the wider issues of ethics, gender, cognition, and ideologies and,
indeed, theologies of the object in the new virtual world.
Major keynote speakers will present their latest thinking and there will
also be workshop sessions led by eminent specialists on archiving,
exhibiting and online teaching.
The conference will provide an opportunity for the sharing of perspectives
on the use and the implications of new technologies in research and
teaching in the arts and humanities. It will also be an occasion for active
participation in workshops and the sharing of good practice.
Exhibition of new technologies
An exhibition accompanying the conference will take place at University
College London from 20-22 September. This will enable all conference
participants to have hands-on experience of some successful projects in
research, teaching and online exhibiting. The exhibition will also be open
to students and members of the public.

Subject: Digital Rights Management session at ALA Annual
At the Annual ALA conference in San Francisco,
on Sunday, June 17, 2001, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM , Marriott Hotel, Salon 7,
The Electronic Publishing/Electronic Journals IG of LITA will present:
Digital Rights Management Systems: How They Will Affect Intellectual
Property Rights, Information Access and Libraries
Digital rights management systems control access and usage of digital
material and their successful deployment is essential for the economic
survival of any company that wishes to profitably publish any type of
material on the Internet. They are also on the verge of becoming a major
operational component of library services and are already having an impact
in controlling access to electronic books and journals. However, besides
simply limiting access, they can further be used to protect against
copyright violations while providing many of the fair use rights and other
privileges scholarly communities consider essential. This session will
attempt to begin defining a set of solutions that fits the needs of
intellectual property creators, owners and users.
Speakers will include, in this order:
Clifford Lynch, Executive Director of CNI and one of the library
community's best synthesizers of information about technology's impact on
libraries.
Mark Stefik, Author of "The Internet Edge: Social Legal, and Technological
Challenges for a Networked World" (MIT Press, 2000) and the original
developer of the software that became ContentGuard, one of the major
digital rights management systems. He is currently a research fellow at
Xerox PARC and manager of the Human-Document Interaction Area in the
Information Sciences and Technology Laboratory.
Dennis McNannay, Recently Vice President at InterTrust Technologies,
currently one of the most successful digital rights management companies,
and a recognized expert on digital rights management systems.
Prasad Ram, Previously General Manager of ContentGuard when it was at
Xerox, and now co-founder, with Carol Risher (recently of AAP), of
Savantech, a company developing digital media distribution solutions in
support of digital commerce.
James Neal, Dean of University Libraries & the Sheridan Director, Johns
Hopkins University and nationally known speaker on digital issues and
electronic publishing.
Lloyd Davidson, Northwestern University, Moderator
