> be in this often-confusing arena. The increasing use of the Internet and
> the World Wide Web has added a new and very large international dimension.
>
> To provide some background and to spark virtual conference discussions,
> the moderators have prepared an article entitled, "Removing the Copyright
> Barrier: Educational use of the Internet (a Canadian perspective)"  The
> article, describing a current lobby in Canada, was published in the most
> recent edition of COL's newsletter, "Connections", and is available on
> COL's website at: www.col.org/copyright
>
> Discussions are expected to be lively, as 165 people that appear to
> represent a wide range of interests and nationalities have already signed
> up.
