SUBJECT: ALA/ALCTS ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING DISCUSSION GROUP
TOPIC: PROPRIETARY OBSTACLES
Richard Rowe coined this term at the Faxon Users' Group meeting in
San Antonio.
Rowe uses the term "to cover several inter-related issues swirling
around the basic concept of information as property and as having
increased perceived value." Some of the interrelated issues are
privatization of knowledge, control of copyright in the electronic
environment, and the importance librarians continue to place on
large collections.
Librarians need to better identify and take a stand on these. Many
obstacles may have already been "resolved" without any discussion
in the profession.
FORMAT: Audience discussion
DISCUSSION LEADER: Ann L. Okerson
Director, Office of Scientific & Academic Publishing
WHERE: Hyatt Regency San Francisco, Pacific H-K
WHEN: Sunday, June 27, 1992, 11:30-12:30
