An Open Invitation
The University of Minnesota Libraries and MINITEX invite you to attend
Digital Rights: Authorship, Ownership, and Partnership at the 9th Annual
Collection Development Symposium. The evolving digital age presents
new and complicated challenges for those who are creating and providing
access to content. Simultaneously, new opportunities for authors and
libraries (both as providers of and partners in the creation of
information)
are being presented. Many questions about copyright are puzzling.
· What makes a work copyright-protected or not?
· If a library creates a digital image of an item in the public
domain, does the library own the co pyright for the digital
images?
· What are the rights of copyright owners on the Internet?
· What challenges and opportunities do emerging technologies
provide
authors?
· How can libraries pa rtner with faculty authors to create,
manage,
and deliver digital content?
This symposium is directed towards academic librarians and is intended
to be thought-and discussion-provoking. We hope you
will have both new insights and new information at the close of the
day.
Kenneth D. Crews, Professor in the Indiana University School of Law,
with a joint appointment in the IU School of Library
and Information Science, in addition to holding the Directorship of IU’s
Copyright Management Center, will speak on
intellectual property and rights issues from the library’s perspective.
He will address ways in which libraries might anticipate, avoid and
respond to potential legal difficulties stemming from electronic
copyright issues. Issues such as the rights of copyright
owners, libraries making digital surrogates of materials no longer
covered by copyright, and how first sale doctrine applies in the digital
realm will be touched on in “Ownership.”
Marianne Gaunt, Univers ity Librarian at Rutgers, has been
involved with the Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities
(CETH) since its inception. CETH was established
by Rutgers and Princeton Universities in October 1991 and is one of the
oldest of these centers. CETH provides a national focus for those
involved in the creation, dissemination and use of electronic
texts in the humanities. Marianne’s experience with collaborative
digital resource creation and publishing at Rutgers provides a
natural platform to dis cuss “Partnership.” How can Libraries partner
with faculty authors to create, manage and deliver digital content?
Warren Alder, author of 24 novels, including Morning Glory, The War
of the Roses and Random Hearts, is one of the few, perhaps the only
novelist in the world, who has created a complete eBook library of
his works, which are available world-wide on every electronic platform.
Warren speaking on “Authorship” will discuss digital content creation
and access fro m the author’s perspective. What opportunities and
challenges do emerging technologies provide authors? How will eBooks
and
Print-on-Demand technologies effect authors in the future?
The symposium will take place on May 20, 2002 from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm
at the Earle Brown Continuing Education Center
on the St. Paul Campus of the University of Minnesota.
The cost is $55 and will include lunch and breaks. To register send a
check payable to the University of Minnesota along with your name,
affiliation, address, telephone/fax number and email
