    *New Technologies and Renaissance Studies*

    Special Sessions at the 2003 Meeting of the Renaissance Society of America
    Friday and Saturday, March 28-29, 2003
    Colony Hotel Toronto, Giovanni Room

    For the third consecutive year, the RSA program will feature a number of
    sessions that document innovative ways in which computing technology is
    being incorporated into the scholarly activity of our community. This
    year's contributions follow this interest across several key projects
    (among them the History E-Book Project, Iter, and the Records of Early
    English Drama), through a number of thematic touchstones (scholarly
    editing, publishing, preservation, and access), and in several emerging
    areas of inquiry (active reading, atypical subjects for hypertextual
    display, and beyond). This year's sessions are outlined below.

    *******
    We invite you to join us and, also, to be in touch with the organisers
    (before April 30, 2003) if you are interested in being involved in similar
    sessions at the RSA 2004 meeting, March 25-27 in New York.

    COPYRIGHT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: CHALLENGES FACING THE ACADEMY

    April 3rd - 4th 2003, Greenbelt Marriott, Maryland (Washington, DC Metro Area)

    http://www.umuc.edu/odell/cip/seminar/

    Higher education institutions are facing an increasing number of issues in an attempt to comply with copyright law and also maintain an atmosphere that promotes learning and academic freedom. Seminar participants, panelist and presenters will explore in depth some of the most pressing issues facing intellectual property policy and higher education today. These issues include:

    - The application of the TEACH Act and compliance issues for higher education institutions

    - The rise in demands for universities to crackdown on the use of university networks for P2P file sharing.

    - The development of alternatives to scholarly publishing models to expand the public domain

    - The impact of the DMCA on academic freedom

    - The impact of recently proposed IP legislation on the higher education community

    Nationally recognized experts in copyright will discuss these issues during the day and half seminar. For more information about speakers and the seminar agenda please review the following URLs:
