http://www.pipeline.com/~rabaron/ctm/CTM.htm
March 3 - College Art Association Conference, Chicago
April 25 - Rice University, Houston
June 28 - Western States Digitization Conference, Denver

A 2001 series of Copyright Town Meetings, organized by the National
Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage, will launch March 3 in
Chicago at the College Art Association's annual conference.
The Copyright & Fair Use Town Meetings balance expert opinion and
audience participation on the basics of copyright law, the
implications of copyright online, recent changes in copyright law and
practice, and practical issues related to the networking of cultural
heritage materials.
The 1997-98 series focused closely on the Conference on Fair Use
(CONFU) and its aftermath. The 2000 series (held in Chicago,
Syracuse, New York City, Chapel Hill, San Francisco and Baltimore)
covered the DMCA, the demise of the public domain; ambiguities of
ownership of online copyrighted material; changes in distance
education; and the critical need for institutional copyright policies
and principles. Reports on the individual meetings are now available
at <http://www.ninch.org/copyright/townmeetings/2000.html> and an
overall report is forthcoming.
The 2001 series will be hosted by the College Art Association, Rice
University, the University of Denver, the New York Public Library and
the Museum Computer Network. Speakers committed to date include Peter
Jaszi, Georgia Harper, Tyler Ochoa and Bernard Reilly.
CHICAGO MEETING: Saturday March 3, 2001
9:30-12:00; 12:30 to 2:00
Chicago Hilton & Towers, 720 South Michigan Avenue
http://www.pipeline.com/~rabaron/ctm/CTM.htm
The opening March 3 Town Meeting in Chicago will focus on "Licensing
Initiatives for Scholars and Teachers" and will feature Renate
Wiedenhoeft (SASKIA Cultural Documentation, Ltd.), Jennifer Trant
(AMICO), Carol Hughes (Questia), Robert Panzer (Visual Artists and
Galleries Association), Thomas W. Bower (Deputy Registrar, National
Museum of American History), and Max Marmor (Director, Yale Art
Library, for The Academic Image Cooperative).
How can the objects and services offered by a set of different new
digital licensing initiatives change for the good the research and
teaching methods of artists and art historians and help fulfill the
educational and scholarly missions of institutions in ways that
unlicensed collections typically do not or can not?
As usual, a premium will be placed on questions and discussion of the
issues from the audience. You can submit questions in advance of the
Chicago meeting at
