Presentations/Papers from ARL/CNI Special Collections Forum

January 6, 2010

The ARL/CNI Fall Forum, “An Age of Discovery: Distinctive Collections in the Digital Age” was held on October 13-14, 2009. This was a superb event. You can find links to audio records of the talks and to presentations at  http://www.arl.org/resources/pubs/fallforumproceedings/forum09proceedings.shtml.  Several outstanding papers from this conference, including a somewhat expanded version of Cliff Lynch’s opening remarks addressing why he believes that special and distinctive collections are of such strategic importance to CNI’s agenda, have been published as the December 2009 issue of Research Library Issues and can be found at http://arl.tizrapublisher.com/view/9ishf/prvp3/default; they are also linked to the talks in the proceedings page.

Video from 2009 IDCC

January 6, 2010

Video from the 2009 International Digital Curation Conference, held in London on December 2-4, is now available. There were a wealth of great sessions at the IDCC meeting, and you can find links to the video captures and the presentation materials at http://www.netvibes.com/idcc2009#Completed_Sessions and http://www.netvibes.com/idcc2009#Programme.  Particularly recommended are Professor Ed Seidel’s superb plenary session on the second day, and Graham Pryor’s best-paper talk on data sharing in the biological sciences, which was largely based on a set of very detailed sub disciplinary case studies commissioned by the UK Research Information Network and the British Library; these can be found at http://www.rin.ac.uk/our-work/using-and-accessing-information-resources/disciplinary-case-studies-life-sciences and are well worth reading to understand some of the barriers to implementing data sharing policies.

Complying with new P2P mandates

November 22, 2009

Here’s information on an upcoming EDUCAUSE Live webcast on a timely topic.

“Complying with P2P Mandates in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008”
http://www.educause.edu/live0921
1-2pm U.S. Eastern Time, Monday, November 23. No charge, but registration required. Archived for future (re)viewing.
Speakers:

Jack Bernard

Assistant General Counsel

Gregory A. Jackson

EDUCAUSE

Summary:

The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 requires all campuses to certify that they have plans to “effectively combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material, including through the use of a variety of technology-based deterrents” and to “offer alternatives to illegal downloading or peer-to-peer distribution of intellectual property.” After months of drafting, debate, and discussion, the Department of Education has issued the final regulations for enforcing these requirements. In this session, we’ll go over the general compliance requirements and discuss how one campus is considering implementing them.
