The Center for Intellectual Property (CIP) at the University of Maryland
University College is excited to announce the launch of a new blog
portal addressing the cultural, political and legal context of copyright
issues:

(c)ollectanea! http://chaucer.umuc.edu/blogcip/collectanea/

The new (c)ollectanea blog will serve as an online discussion platform
for the current and future Center for Intellectual Property scholars.
Today, join one of the leading copyright scholars in the country,
GEORGIA HARPER as she provides insight and leads discussions with guest
bloggers on issues relating to copyright generally, with a specific
focus on issues facing the education and library communities. Georgia
K. Harper serves as the CIP 2006-2008 Intellectual Property Virtual
Scholar and the Scholarly Communications Advisor for the University of
Texas at Austin Libraries. Previously, Ms. Harper specialized in
copyright law and created the well known and widely used online
publication, The Copyright Crash Course, for the University of Texas
System

CIP is one of the leading online educational centers providing training,
and solutions on copyright issues affecting the higher education
community. This new blog, (c)ollectanea, furthers the Center's mission
to provide timely copyright resources for educators. Although the blog
will address the needs of the education and library communities, all are
welcome to engage in the discussion and contribute.

Share your thoughts on copyright issues. Join the blog group
(c)ollectanea, collected perspectives on copyright.
