Register now for the 2010 Cornell University/EDUCAUSE Institute for Computer Policy and Law
Dear Colleague,
The ever-expanding use of Internet technologies presents a multitude of challenges for everyone involved in developing, implementing, or enforcing technology policies. This year, make your job a little easier by joining us for one of the nation’s most highly regarded forums for examining technology policies in higher education: the Cornell University/EDUCAUSE Institute for Computer Policy and Law<http://www.sce.cornell.edu/exec/cpl.php> (ICPL), to be held July 19-22 on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, New York.
Led by co-directors Steven L. Worona, the director of policy and networking for EDUCAUSE, and Tracy B. Mitrano, director of IT policy for Cornell Information Technologies, the 2010 institute will feature a keynote speech by Cliff Lynch, executive director of the Coalition for Networked Information (https://www.cni.org/). Also on the schedule are sessions to explore a range of critical topics, including:
* the most recent developments in computer, policy, law, and the Internet;
* an introduction to laws that apply in cyberspace;
* network security policies and e-discovery;
* policy options for social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook; and
* the laws and politics of digital copyright.
“ICPL continues to be the premier event for discussing IT policy and law in higher education,” says Doug Markiewicz, a participant in the 2009 ICPL. “It provides the opportunity to interact with great minds in an intimate setting.” We hope that you and many of your colleagues will be able to join us this year for what promises to be an equally enlightening and rewarding institute.
For additional information, including the list of presenters, and to register online visit us on the Web at http://www.sce.cornell.edu/icpl or contact the Cornell University School of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions at 607.255.7259; cusp@cornell.edu.

NISO Journal Article Versions Survey
NISO is hoping for a broad response to its survey on version practices related to journal articles. You’ll find a link to the survey below.
-Joan Lippincott
Online publishing allows for the release of multiple versions of journal articles — and these growing practices are redefining our concept of “publishing” and the “version of record.” How do we determine when a manuscript is considered final? Which version should be cited? How do we best indicate online article versions?
In 2008, NISO published the Recommended Practice, “Journal Article Versions (JAV): Recommendations of the NISO/ALPSP JAV Technical Working Group” (NISO RP-8-2008; available at http://www.niso.org/publications/rp). The recommended version classifications could be incorporated into article metadata for database management, archiving and cataloging, online display, and more.
Now, NISO would like to hear what you think — how do you manage version control of journal articles? Are you amenable to industry standards for online versions? Who is responsible for managing such version metadata? Please take a moment to contribute your perspectives by answering this short survey by July 16, 2010. It should take no more than five minutes to complete. Following the survey, a report of the results will be made available on the NISO website.
The survey can be found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PBJSPKR
Thank you for your time!
Best,
Karen Wetzel, Standards Program Manager, NISO
Lettie Conrad, Online Product Manager, SAGE Publications, Inc.
