Winter Online Copyright Workshops

["Olga Francois" <OFrancois@xxxxxxxx>]

Colleagues,

As expected, the last workshop with Arnie Lutzker was very well received
by participants! As leaves and snow fall for many of us, I urge you to
register for our last two online workshops in this year's series. The
guest moderators will be Georgia Harper and Gary Pavela and they will
address two very different aspects of the legal and ethical use of
copyrighted works in academia. See details below...

------------------
Integrating Access to Digital Course Materials: Blackboard/WebCT,
Coursepacks, e-Reserves, Licensed Materials, e-Books, Open Access...What
Will They Think of Next?

------------------
Dates: January 28 - February 8, 2008 (early registration ends January
11)
Moderator: Georgia Harper, J.D., Scholarly Communications Advisor,
University Libraries, University of Texas at Austin

This workshop will explore how integrating the various methods our
campuses use to provide access to digital educational course materials
can achieve long-term efficiencies and facilitate institutional
compliance with copyright law.
We'll start with a high-level discussion of fair use and review the role
it plays in enabling access to certain types of materials. Next, we'll
turn to our other forms of legal authority to use others' works, and
learn how we might integrate access to our libraries' existing
collections of licensed materials, including e-books and journal
articles, with those materials freely available on the Web, and those
for which permission must be obtained. We'll also examine the many
delivery mechanisms in use today to determine which features will most
affect faculty acceptance and use of any integrated system.

Most importantly, these explorations will underscore the fact that
creating and operating access systems for digital materials, and the
copyright issues involved, are institutional concerns and not just a
matter of library services. Please see site for detailed course

Building a Community that Values Academic Integrity
http://www.umuc.edu/cip/ipa/
-------------------
Dates: February 25 - March 7, 2008 (early registration ends February 8 )
Moderators: Gary Pavela, M.A., J.D., Director of Judicial Programs and
Student Ethical Development, University of Maryland -- College Park &
Kimberly Bonner, J.D., Executive Director, Center for Intellectual
Property, University of Maryland University College

Studies show that establishing a community of shared academic values
fosters academic integrity in the classroom. However, establishing that
community may be more difficult when students adopt the values of a
digital "remix" culture that challenges the traditional understanding of
authorship. How do institutions foster academic integrity values in
light of changing cultural norms? Are there special techniques and tools
required? Are the best tools to use in preventing academic dishonesty
"technical" like Turnitin.com? And are there additional legal and
ethical issues involved when using technical measures to prevent
academic dishonesty? Please see site for detailed course objectives-
