    Harmonization and Education Act (the TEACH Act) (S 487) - for text see:

    This Bill is the result of efforts to implement the recommendations of a

        House Committee Votes to Ease Copyright Restrictions on
        Distance Education

        By ANDREA L. FOSTER

        The enactment of a bill that would make it easier for
        educational institutions to use films and songs in online
        instruction was all but assured Wednesday after a key House of
        Representatives committee approved the legislation.

        The House Judiciary Committee unanimously approved the bill,
        the Technology Harmonization and Education Act (S 487), on a
        voice vote without debate. It is identical to a bill the
        Senate approved in June 2001.

        The legislation would expand the exceptions under the
        Copyright Act of 1976 that allow colleges and schools to use
        copyrighted material for instruction without securing
        copyright holders' permission.

        The act allows distance-education providers to digitally
        transmit nondramatic literary and musical works. Under the
        bill, they would also be able to show students selected
        portions of movies, plays and other dramatic works.

        The legislation applies only to accredited, nonprofit
        educational institutions.

        Educational and media interests, which had long been at odds
        over easing copyright law for online instruction, had
        negotiated a compromise -- later formalized in the bill --
        more than a year ago. But the chairman of the Judiciary
        Committee, Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner Jr., had held up the
        legislation. Mr. Sensenbrenner, a Wisconsin Republican, had
        indicated that he would only move the bill forward in tandem
        with another piece of legislation to create new protections
        for databases.

        Mr. Sensenbrenner relented, however, when higher-education
        interests made a recent push to have the technology
        legislation passed into law, and when he realized that
        database legislation would be difficult to move forward.

    New Version of Online Archive of California (OAC) Available Easier Use of Online Finding Aids http://www.oac.cdlib.org

    Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 15:38:23 -0700 To: ninch-announce@ninch.org From: Robin Chandler <Robin.Chandler@ucop.edu>

    On July 15, 2002, a version of the Online Archive of California (OAC) was released to the public at www.oac.cdlib.org. The Online Archive of California (OAC) describes and provides access to over 6000 collections of primary source materials such as manuscripts, photographs, and works of art held in libraries, museums, archives, and other institutions across California.

    The new OAC homepage simplifies browsing and searching the finding aids of the collections and, in many cases, digital versions of the photographs, manuscripts and other objects themselves. The new interface is based upon software from the University of Michgan's Library's Digital Library eXtension Service (DLXS) for the provision of EAD encoded finding aids.

    A "finding aid" describes and provides an inventory of primary source materials. Primary sources include letters, diaries, manuscripts, legal and financial records, photographs and other pictorial items, maps, architectural and engineering records, artwork, scientific logbooks, electronic records, sound recordings, oral histories artifacts and ephemera.

    The OAC has finding aids for collections as diverse as the Japanese American Relocation photograph collection from the University of Southern California and the Keystone-Mast stereoscopic collection from the California Museum of Photography, among the thousands of collections from over 60 libraries, museums and historical societies.

    What's the impact? Compared to the already widely used interface for OAC, the new presentation of finding aids will feature improved searching, better access to finding aids that have online images, enhanced display options and faster delivery of content with the DLXS software. Responding to the suggestions of users, the new search interface and results pages results are similar to what users encounter on many other web sites.

    For those familiar with the content or with the structure of finding aids, advanced search functions allow targeting a search to the title of finding aid, its full-text, including overview notes, or only the specific descriptions of collection contents. While browsing finding aids or reviewing search results, icons indicate when digital versions of the source materials are available. Users will have the ability to limit a search to finding aids that include online images.

    Finding aids can be browsed by the name of the contributing institution or by a complete listing of finding aid titles. Display of individual finding aids can be based on keyword in-context, an outline view or as a printable (full-text view) version all on one page.

    In order to provide time for current OAC users to explore the new interface, the old interface will continue to be available until December 31st, 2002. Since the OAC's 1993 origins as the Berkeley Finding Aid Project (BFAP), a form of the SGML-based publishing system known as Dynaweb has been the software foundation for the OAC finding aids.

    Future enhancements The new version of OAC provides a robust platform for service development. In future releases, the OAC team plans to offer users more direct searching for the digitized source materials and increase the ability to search across multiple formats (finding aids, online texts, online images, online multimedia) at once. These enhancements to the discovery and use of these unique materials are meant to complement the growth of the OAC itself, with many new collections being prepared for addition.

    The OAC is hosted by the California Digital Library and draws its support from the University of California, the California State Library, and dozens of partner universities, museums, and archives. We encourage you to browse the content of the OAC by trying out its new interface at www.oac.cdlib.org.
