rapidly evolving legal, policy, and social significance in the academic
environment.

ICPL's scope has broadened to address issues vital to faculty in the

of the experience!  Through presentations, informed and facilitated
discussion, the posing of uncomfortable questions and challenging ideas, we

networking and online identity for students and academic professionals
  *   Scholarly publications: Institutional funding, intellectual property,
and peer review challenges
  *   Integration of new media with teaching, learning, and research
  *   Academic integrity in the digital age, including debates around how to
define plagiarism and the value of technological detection systems)
  *   Knowledge production, collection, and dissemination for academic
librarians, and digital and information literacy for all
