The Association of Research Libraries is pleased to announce
"Copyright & Libraries: A Leadership Workshop."  This workshop is
one of a series of initiatives to promote copyright awareness
within North American higher education and research communities.


"Copyright & Libraries:  A Leadership Workshop"
Sponsored by the Association of Research Libraries

September 19 - 20, 1996
University of Washington, Seattle
Husky Union Building
Seattle, WA


Purpose and Overview:
This two-day Copyright Workshop for directors and librarians in
research and academic libraries will be held on September 19 - 20,
1996.  The goals of the workshop are to:

        1)      provide a foundation for understanding the U.S.
copyright law and related guidelines and court cases;

        2)      update librarians about copyright in the print and
electronic environment, with an emphasis on the impact of the NII
on copyright; and,

        3)      contribute to educational efforts to increase copyright
awareness within the North American higher education and research
communities.

Day One will provide the conceptual framework of U.S. copyright,
review in detail the law, related guidelines, key legal cases, and
anticipated legislative changes. Day One will also include an
overview of the framework of a university copyright policy,
including an examination of the university and/or faculty
ownership of faculty works and the impact of technology on those
policies.  The day will conclude with a case study of developing a
copyright awareness program within a research institution.

Day Two moves participants from the conceptual framework to the
application of copyright  by beginning with a facilitated
discussion of the tensions between holders and users of
copyrighted materials.  Breakout sessions will encourage
participants to engage in focused discussions on the impact of
copyright and licensing on the following library functions or
collections: electronic reserves, interlibrary loan, preservation,
database licensing, distance education, multimedia, software,
special collections/archives/images, and Web sites, as well as
university and/or faculty ownership of copyrighted works.   The
workshop will end with participants developing an action plan to
take back to their own institutions.
