Attendees then will be asked to respond to questions and scenarios posed by the moderators, bringing their own teaching and professional experiences to the discussion, and interacting with meeting moderators and others participating. In the true spirit of a "town meeting," active engagement by everyone in the issues raised and healthy debate of the complex problems being encountered in such areas as fair use of copyrighted materials and ownership of digital-based courses will be encouraged.

CommunityGuides - May 18 ========================== ABOUT THE NINCH COPYRIGHT & FAIR USE TOWN MEETINGS With support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage is sponsoring a series of six Copyright Town Meetings for the cultural community during the year 2000. The series of day-long and half-day meetings builds on the popular 1997-98 Town Meetings on Copyright & Fair Use, organized jointly with the American Council of Learned Societies and the College Art Association, which focused on the Conference on Fair Use and its aftermath. The 2000 series of Town Meetings will be held in Chicago, Syracuse, New York City, Chapel Hill, San Francisco and Baltimore and will be hosted by the Chicago Historical Society, Syracuse and Cornell Universities, the College Art Association, the Triangle Research Library Network (North Carolina), the Visual Resources Association and the American Association of Museums. Issues to be covered by the meetings include changes in copyright law as it affects working on-line; fair use and its on-line future; the status of the public domain; ownership and access of on-line copyrighted material; distance education; and the development and implementation of institutional and organizational copyright policies and principles. A hallmark of the Town Meetings will be the balance of expert opinion and audience participation. Speakers include, among others: Robert Baron, Howard Besser, Kathleen Butler, Kenneth Crews, Eric Eldred, Jane Ginsburg, Dakin Hart, Peter Hirtle, Tyler Ochoa, Rodney Petersen, Christine Sundt, Barry Szczesny, Sandy Thatcher, Richard Weisgrau and Diane Zorich.
