SPARC-ACRL Forum at ALA Midwinter:
Authors and Authority: Perspectives on Negotiating
Licenses and Copyright

Saturday, January 21, 2006, 4-6 pm
Location to be announced

A publisher, an attorney and a librarian will provide
insights into the ways that the traditional relationship
between author and publisher is changing: from individual
author's addenda included with publishing agreements to
large-scale efforts from universities and organizations
like Creative Commons and Science Commons. This SPARC-ACRL
Forum will outline a path for the future that will better
serve academe and the public.

Speakers include David Hoole, Head of Brand Marketing and
Content Licensing, Nature Publishing Group; Mike Carroll,
Associate Professor of Law, Villanova University School of
Law and Board Member of Creative Commons; and John Ober,
Director, Education and Strategy, California Digital
Library.

Please join us for this event. Reservations are not
required.
