      UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES & MUSEUMS IN THE DIGITAL MARKETPLACE
              Yale Center for British Art, Lecture Hall
                    Friday, November 21, 1997

The Digital Media Center for the Arts at Yale will host its first annual
symposium on Friday, November 21, 1997.  Devoted to the theme
"University Libraries and Museums in the Digital Marketplace," the
symposium will address the opportunities and challenges posed by the
emerging digital marketplace to research universities with distinguished
library and museum collections.  Questions to be addressed will include:

*  How can the mission of a research university be most fully realized in
   the digital arena?

*  What does this new arena mean for the university's traditional mission
   of collecting, teaching, learning, and discovery?

*  What challenges and opportunities does this new arena pose in the realms
   of intellectual property, copyright and distance learning?

The first half of the symposium will be devoted to these themes, with
the second half providing an overview of emerging digital marketplace
models. 

Speakers will include:

*  Charles Altschul, noted lecturer and consultant on multimedia technology
   and the arts,

*  Susan Ball, Executive Director of the College Art Association

*  Michael Ester, President of Luna Imaging, Inc., and

*  Geoffrey Samuels, founder of the Museum Licensing Collective.

A round table discussion will conclude the symposium, and a reception
will follow.  Participants will include Scott Bennett (University
Librarian), Dan Updegrove (Director of Information Technology Services),
and Richard Benson (Dean of the School of Art), as well as the speakers. 

This event is sponsored by the new Digital Media Center for the Arts, an
interdisciplinary site for learning, teaching and expression in the
arts, with support from the following programs: the Yale Center for
British Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Yale Schools of Art,
Architecture, Drama, and Music, the Yale University Library, and Yale
Information Technology Services.  It is part of the ongoing ITS Lecture
Series.
