    February 13
    Lecture Title: "After the Internet"
    JAMES O'DONNELL

    The Internet bubble has burst. The Internet is boring. Even The Economist is
    reduced to devoting a special section to the wireless Internet in order to
    gain and hold its readers' attention. This is an opportunity for serious
    thought and action about the integration of information technology and
    information science in the humanistic organon. How are we different because
    we live in this wired world? How are we not different? What is reasonable to
    expect?

    James J. O'Donnell is Professor of Classical Studies and Vice Provost for
    Information Systems and Computing at the University of Pennsylvania. He has
    published widely on the cultural history of the late antique Mediterranean
    world and is a recognized innovator in the application of networked
    information technology in higher education. In 1990, he co-founded Bryn Mawr
    Classical Review, the second on-line scholarly journal in the humanities
    ever created. In 1994, he taught an Internet-based seminar on the work of
    Augustine of Hippo that reached 500 students. He also serves as resident
    Faculty Master of Hill College House at Penn. He is a Trustee of the
    National Humanities Center, has served as a Director and will become
    President-Elect in 2002 of the American Philological Association, and served
    as a Councillor of the Medieval Academy of America.

             Subject: The Technology Source Author Forums

    This week we will initiate our Technology Source Author Forums for the
    January/February issue in conjunction with HorizonLive, an e-learning
    platform that allows participants anywhere in the world to provide
    questions, suggestions, and opinions in a lively, real-time dialogue with
    our contributors. Our first forum is Tuesday, 10:00 am EST, with Geoff
    Cox, President of UNext's Cardean University, where the discussion will
    focus on the role and mission that for-profit virtual universities are
    playing in the changing landscape of higher education. On Wednesday we
    feature Professor Robert Sommer on problems, issues, and rewards of using
    PowerPoint in the classroom. On Thursday we talk with Stephen Downes, our
    spotlight site editor, about the current spotlight site (eLearning Forum)
    and the criteria he uses to select outstanding sites for educators
    interested in using technology to enhance education.

    --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 07:12:09 +0000 From: "Olga Francois" <ofrancois@umuc.edu> Subject: Copyright Management in Higher Ed Seminar

    [Please excuse the inevitable duplication of this notice.] ANNOUNCEMENT AND INVITATION

    The Center for Intellectual Property at the University of Maryland University College is hosting a seminar titled:

    Copyright Management in Higher Education: Access, Control and Use April 4th - 5th 2002. http://www.umuc.edu/distance/odell/cip/copy_manage2002/

    The digital age has greatly increased concerns about ownership, access, and control of copyrighted information. As substantial users and creators of copyrighted information, colleges and universities must develop mechanisms that effectively manage information on the networked campus. Protective technologies are being developed that hold the promise of perfect control and the peril of substantially limited access to information. Comprehensive intellectual property policies are needed to provide clear guidelines for ownership and proper use of information. Moreover, stakeholders in higher education should understand the substantial changes being made in federal information policy that will affect colleges and universities in the twenty-first century.

    The Keynote speaker will be Laura "Lolly" Gasaway, Director, Law Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Intellectual Property Scholar, Center for Intellectual Property, University of Maryland University College.

    Additional confirmed presenters and panelist include:

    - Dan L. Burk, Faculty Associate, Center for Bioethics; Professor, University of Minnesota Law School; and Associate Director, Joint Degree Program in Law, Health, and the Life Sciences. - Kim Kelley, Associate Provost and Executive Director of the Center for Intellectual Property, University of Maryland University College - Todd Kelley, Associate Provost and Librarian of the College, St. Mary's College of Maryland - Arnold P. Lutzker, Partner, Lutzker & Lutzker LLP - Carol Risher, Senior Vice President-Business Development Savantech, Inc. - Siva Vaidhyanathan, Assistant Professor, School of Library and Information Studies, University of Wisconsin at Madison - John C. Vaughn, Executive Vice President, Association of American Universities - Fred (Rick) W. Weingarten, Director of the Office for Information Technology Policy of the American Library Association - Dr. Larry Wilt, Director of the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
