This workshop is one in a series of ARL initiatives to enhance copyright awareness within North American higher education and research communities. Day One will provide the conceptual framework of the U.S. copyright law by reviewing in detail the law, related guidelines, key legal cases, and anticipated legislative changes. The workshop will feature the development of a copyright education initiative at one research university. Participants will also have the opportunity to formulate the elements of a copyright program to implement in their own institution. Registration fee includes resource materials, continental breakfasts, lunches, and breaks.
Prepayment is required.
Participants are responsible for making their own hotel reservations. Request the rate for the ARL Workshop. Another workshop for U.S. librarians is planned for September on the West Coast. A similar event for Canadian institutions is under development with the Canadian Association of Research Libraries. No refund for cancellations received after April 1, 1996.
