From: Dina Giambi <dinag_at_UDel.Edu>
Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:30:43 -0500
I am posting the announcement on behalf of Cheryl Walters.
Dina Giambi
ALCTS President
*Feb. 23-24, 2009 - “*Copyright and Digital Collections*”
*Moderated by Cheryl D. Walters, Head, Digital Initiatives at Utah State
University’s Merrill-
Cazier Library.
Join a discussion on the virtual side, talking about copyright issues
associated with creating and curating digital collections. When your
Library creates digital content, do you play it safe by sticking
strictly to older works that clearly are in the public domain? Or have
you ventured into murkier waters such as art slides, recorded
interviews, materials with multiple layers of intellectual rights such
as beat poetry (written by one person, illustrated by another), etc.?
Tell us about your copyright adventures as they relate to digital
collections. Be they successes or failures, they are all fodder for this
forum.
Discussion will begin on Monday, Feb. 23 at 9 am (Mountain Time) and
conclude the next day at 5 pm.
*To register:*
Go to: _http://lists.ala.org/sympa_, click on /Assoc. for Library
Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS)/ under
the *ALA Divisions *heading, then choose _alcts-eforum_at_ala.org_ .
Participation is free and open to anyone who registers for a login and
password. Instructions for obtaining a login and password are given on
the list homepage. Even if this particular eforum topic does not appeal,
register and watch for others more to your liking.
