Subject: Help with Copyright Questions

Send us your copyright questions and help the Office for Information 
Technology Policy (OITP) of ALA test a new service for ALA members!  We
ask 
those of you who have a copyright question or problem to submit it to
the 
Copyright Advisory Network.  OITP has created an online discussion forum
for 
this purpose.  We want to study what kind of questions you have, how
often 
you face copyright issues and whether you find a service where you can
post 
questions and get responses helpful. We also hope to get your feedback
on 
the Web site that we have created, and to get advice on how to change it
to 
better fit your needs. Our goal is to match individuals who are
knowledgeable 
about copyright with librarians who have copyright queries.  This forum
will 
occur totally online and will be offered free to members.

At this time, we need to know if the Copyright Advisory Network is
viable 
and of interest to members.  Could you help?  Please visit 
http://www.librarycopyright.net, register as a user, and visit the
Network 
Forums to ask your questions  and get your answers. If you have problems

accessing the forum, send an e-mail message to Ross at 
rhousewright_at_alawash.org and he will assist you.
 
Since we have no idea how much traffic the discussion forum might draw,
we
 cannot guarantee that you will get a timely response to queries, but we
do 
promise to read and respond to each issue or question. Bear in mind that
this 
service does not provide you with legal advice.  You are reminded to
consult 
legal counsel when necessary.

On behalf of the OITP Copyright Advisory Committee, thank you.
