at copyright issues facing librarians and educators in the
digital age.
On
Friday, September 24, 2004, ALA will bring you the perspective
of three leading copyright experts
- Carrie
Russell, Copyright Specialist, ALA Washington Office
- Kenneth
Crews, Professor, Indiana University School of Law
- Edward
Valauskas, Follett Chair in Library and Information
Science, Dominican University.
They
will give you their view of the key issues facing librarians
and educators.
John
W. Berry, NILRC Executive Director and past president
of ALA, will lead an audience of librarians and teachers to
ask the kind of questions to give you the information you
need to understand complex copyright and intellectual property
issues in your library or institution.
This
program promises to be both challenging and thoughtful. ALA's
library experts will share their thoughts and projections
for the future of copyright in the digital age. You'll have
a chance, either by phone, FAX, e-mail or your surrogates
in the audience, to ask the presenters questions and give
them your feedback.
