Register online at the local web page for the town meeting http://coloradodigital.coalliance.org/chcpreform.html Entitled "Copyright & Primary Source Materials," this four-hour meeting will bring together national experts in the field and local practitioners working in museums, libraries and archives to examine the copyright policy issues and practical copyright-related problems of mounting primary source materials online. THEMES * What are the current intellectual property issues inhibiting the networking of primary documents of cultural heritage online? * What is the current law and what are the key legislative developments affecting our work in this area? * What are current practical solutions to current copyright problems? * How are things changing and what new pro-active strategies do we need to adopt in order to achieve the future? SPEAKERS The above themes will be the subjects of two keynote addresses by national experts in the field: Professor Peter Jaszi (Washington College of Law, American University) and Bernard Reilly (Head of Research and Access, Chicago Historical Society). After questions and comments on the issues addressed by the two main speakers, participants will hear reports from the field in a panel comprising: * Tom Folsom, Legal Counsel, Denver Museum of Nature and Science * Jim Williams, Dean of Libraries, University of Colorado at Boulder * Kevin Anderson, archivist and historian, Casper College, Wyoming A hallmark of the NINCH Copyright Town Meetings is the time allotted to the discussion among participants of both specific problems and broad issues.
