    Copyright & Distance Education Online: A Discussion

    A summary of recent and pending legislation having implications for
    distance education, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA),
    will lead off the event. Attendees then will be asked to respond to
    questions and scenarios posed by the moderators, bringing their own
    teaching and professional experiences to the discussion, and interacting
    with meeting moderators and others participating. In the true spirit of a
    "town meeting," active engagement by everyone in the issues raised and
    healthy debate of the complex problems being encountered in such areas as
    fair use of copyrighted materials and ownership of digital-based courses
    will be encouraged.

    Speakers/Facilitators
    James Boyle, Professor of Law, American University
    Peggy Hoon, North Carolina State University's scholarly communication
    librarian

    ABOUT THE NINCH COPYRIGHT & FAIR USE TOWN MEETINGS

    With support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the National Initiative
    for a Networked Cultural Heritage is sponsoring a series of six Copyright
    Town Meetings for the cultural community during the year 2000.

    The series of day-long and half-day meetings builds on the popular 1997-98
    Town Meetings on Copyright & Fair Use, organized jointly with the American
    Council of Learned Societies and the College Art Association, which focused
    on the Conference on Fair Use and its aftermath.

    The 2000 series of Town Meetings will be held in Chicago, Syracuse, New
    York City, Chapel Hill, San Francisco and Baltimore and will be hosted by
    the Chicago Historical Society, Syracuse and Cornell Universities, the
    College Art Association, the Triangle Research Library Network (North
    Carolina), the Visual Resources Association and the American Association of
    Museums.

    Issues to be covered by the meetings include changes in copyright law as it
    affects working on-line; fair use and its on-line future; the status of the
    public domain; ownership and access of on-line copyrighted material;
    distance education; and the development and implementation of institutional
    and organizational copyright policies and principles.

    A hallmark of the Town Meetings will be the balance of expert opinion and
    audience participation. Speakers include, among others: Robert Baron,
    Howard Besser, Kathleen Butler, Kenneth Crews, Eric Eldred, Jane Ginsburg,
    Dakin Hart, Peter Hirtle, Tyler Ochoa, Rodney Petersen, Christine Sundt,
    Barry Szczesny, Sandy Thatcher, Richard Weisgrau and Diane Zorich.

    registration and any admission fees, agendas and speakers as they are
