ANNOUNCEMENT and INVITATION:
The Committee on Intellectual Property of the College Art Association
(CAA), in conjunction with the National Initiative for a Networked
Cultural Heritage (NINCH), wishes to announce the program for the
forthcoming fifth annual Town Meeting devoted to the topic of
intellectual property in academe.
Scheduled as part of the upcoming Conference of the College Art
Association (Chicago, February 28-March 3; see
http://www.collegeart.org), the Town Meeting will be held Saturday,
March 3, 2001 in two sessions: 9:30-noon for presentations, and
12:30-2:00 for discussion. The sessions are open to all -- to
registered conference attendees and to unregistered individuals who
purchase a single-session ticket at the conference.
Detailed information about the program, attendance, the speakers,
their topics and more may be found at the following location:

THEME:
This fifth edition of the annual NINCH/CAA Copyright Town Meeting is
devoted to intellectual property that has been specifically prepared
to be licensed for educational and scholarly use. It concerns the
distribution of copyrighted and other materials especially crafted to
meet the current and emerging needs of university artists and of art
historians, among others. The presenters will be given opportunity to
explain how their products can alter, improve, or re-create the
methods of education and research. The speakers have been asked to
discuss how their services and products specifically help fulfill
educational and scholarly missions in ways that unlicensed
collections typically do not or can not.
PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS:
SASKIA is a traditional art-history slide resource that is working to
transform its catalogue and methods from analog distribution to
digital and, in the process is inventing new formats and licensing
products.
AMICO is a highly regarded repository and resource of digital images
for educational use. AMICO offers institutional subscriptions to its
expanding library.
QUESTIA is an innovative effort to provide indexed digital access to
tens of thousands of published works used in undergraduate humanities
education.
Not presenting, but sitting on the Q&A panel during the second half
of the program will be a representative from the Academic Image
Cooperative (AIC), a unique program engaged in collecting public
domain and otherwise legally unencumbered images for eventual use by
art historians, among others.
In addition, the executive director of the Visual Artists Gallery
Association (VAGA) will discuss his organization's role as licensing
agency for artists and the means by which VAGA serves scholarly and
educational interests alongside commercial ones.
Finally, Tom Bower, a member of the intellectual property group of
the National Museum of American History and the Committee on
Intellectual Property of the College Art Association, will dissect
the process by which educators and scholars request permission to
publish images. The purpose of this exercise is to increase the
likelihood of obtaining favorable treatment and of receiving the
benefits traditionally extended to scholars.
