Museum Computer Network Conference
Hilton Toronto Hotel

Free of Charge * Open to All

This program is made possible by a grant from the Samuel H. Kress
Foundation
In a world where many content-providers are worried about digital
misappropriation of material, and users are concerned about inaccessible,
expensive or low-grade resources, how important is it for museums to have
clear and fair intellectual property policy to monitor and control the use
and distribution of digital content and how do they go about creating it?
"Creating Museum IP Policy in a Digital World," will attempt to answer these
questions.
The 19th NINCH Copyright Town Meeting, presented at the Museum Computer
Network (MCN) conference in Toronto, in collaboration with MCN and the
Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) will be held in the Hilton
Toronto Hotel on Saturday September 7, 9am-4pm. The meeting is open to all
and is free of charge but registration is required.
The Toronto Town Meeting will be part presentation, part practicum. It will
open with several speakers defining what policy is, what core values it
represents and why it is important for an institution to have an IP policy.
A keynote address will situate the role of institutional policy within an
international context. Museum legal expert Maria Pallante will then analyze
the key issues to consider when preparing a policy.
In the second half of the meeting two practitioners will examine
policy-building. Brian Porter will report on his experience at the Royal
Ontario Museum, while Rachelle Brown of the Smithsonian Institution will
examine the importance of understanding an institution's larger values in
constructing policy. These talks will introduce the workshop component of
the Meeting, at which participants will break into working groups to
construct policy solutions to particular museum situations. The results of
the working groups will be reviewed by a panel of all the speakers.
The focus of this meeting is designed to complement that of the NINCH
Copyright Town Meeting, held November 2001 in Eugene, Oregon, on "Creating
Policy: Copyright Policies in the University." Laura Gasaway, a key
presenter and organizer of the Eugene meeting, is a featured speaker at this
meeting. A report on the Eugene Town Meeting and workshop can be seen at
http://www.ninch.org/copyright/2001/eugenereport.html
Featured speakers:
* Rachelle Brown, Assistant General Counsel, Smithsonian Institution
* Laura N. Gasaway, Director of Law Library and Professor of Law,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
* David Muls, Senior Counsellor, Office of Legal and Organization
Affairs, World Intellectual Property Organization [invited]
* Maria Pallante, Associate General Counsel, Guggenheim Museum/Foundation
* Rina Pantalony, Senior Policy Analyst, Canadian Heritage Information
Network
* Brian Porter, Media Resources Director, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto
The NINCH Copyright Town Meetings seek to balance expert opinion and
audience participation on the basics of copyright law, the implications of
copyright online, recent changes in copyright law and practice, and
practical issues related to the networking of cultural heritage materials.
The program will include plenty of time for audience questions, comments and
discussion.
