ARL is pleased to announce "Copyright in the Digital Age: A

of a series of initiatives to promote copyright awareness within
North American higher education and research communities.
Purpose and Overview:
This two-day workshop for directors and librarians in research and
academic libraries will:
1) summarize the impact of national legislative and
international treaty proposals in the context of a networked,
educational setting;
2) highlight the potential impact of licensing agreements on
fair use and library exemptions, and;
3) contribute to educational efforts to increase copyright
awareness within the North American higher education and research
communities.
The first day will provide an overview of domestic and
international legislation, with a focus on proposed legislative
changes and treaty proposals. The second day will highlight the
relationship between copyright and licensing under contract law.
Campus strategies for establishing copyright policies and
addressing the emerging digital environment on local campuses will
be discussed, and the workshop will conclude with participants
developing a plan to promote copyright understanding on their
campuses.

increasing their knowledge of copyright in an educational setting.
