>Greetings ARLIS/NA Members, > >Since the information about VRA and ARLIS events at CAA was sent >out, we have discovered an unfortunate scheduling conflict and >decided to make an adjustment. There is a session that Chris Sundt >has helped organize, in which the new VRA Fair Use Guidelines and >other important copyright issues will be discussed, scheduled at the >same time as the VRA Business Meeting. So, we have decided to CANCEL >THE VRA BUSINESS MEETING AT CAA so everyone can attend this >copyright discussion instead (I will be redirecting people and >posting signage to this effect at CAA). I've copied the information >Chris provided below and think you will find this to be a session >well worth attending. I would like to sincerely thank Allan Kohl and >Shilpa Rele, who were going to be at the VRA Business Meeting to >discuss the VRA Fair Use Guidleines and ACRL Visual Literacy >Standards, for their flexibility. Allan will be at the Copyright >Session and on the architectural walking tour afterwards if you have >additional questions about the Fair Use Guidelines. We hope to >reschedule the visual literacy discussion at a future SoCal Chapter >meeting, and of course, there will be a presentation on the ACRL >Visual Literacy Standards during the VRA affiliate session on >Thursday. > >Similar to the other affiliate activities in the original email, YOU >DO NOT NEED TO BE REGISTERED FOR CAA to attend the Copyright >Session. VRA's Thursday Session and the Saturday LA Conservancy >walking tour of Historic Downtown will still be taking place as >scheduled. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any >questions. Hope to see you in LA! > >Best wishes, >Maureen Burns >VRA President > >Here's the listing that appears in the CAA program and information >about plans for the copyright session. The VRA guidelines hadn't >been completed when this session was planned, but will now be >prominently featured in this session: > >CAA Committee on Intellectual Property > >Give and Take: Copyright's Balancing Act > >Saturday, February 25, 12:30 PM-2:00 PM > >West Hall Meeting Room 515B, Level 2, Los Angeles Convention Center > >Chairs: Christine L. Sundt, Visual Resources Journal; Doralynn >Pines, Metropolitan Museum of Art, emerita; Jeffrey P. Cunard, >Debevoise & Plimpton LLP > >"Give & Take: Copyright's Balancing Act." The purpose of the session >is to discuss what the law gives to creators and users through basic >provisions of the law and the many exemptions that are also written >into the law and to consider why taking is not always something >forbidden, wrong, or evil. In this session I propose that we cover >various guidelines which could include the older DMCA and its >effects on newer art technologies and the new best practices or >guidelines that various subgroups are crafting. These include the >documentary filmmakers, the AAMD (on thumbnails), ARL (academic and >research libraries), SAA (archives), and the promised best practices >guidelines from the VRA. We could also use the time to inform >members about the revised CIP website which we are working on and >which should be completed by then. > >>The College Art Association (CAA) conference will be held at the >>Los Angeles Convention Center from February 22nd to 25th. >> >>From the CAA's website: >>"Speakers and panelists will present their recent artistic projects >>and art-historical research, while others will talk about relevant >>issues in pedagogy, technology, publishing, and the academic >>workforce." >> >>The CAA is the VRA's oldest affiliate society and this year marks >>the VRA's 30th anniversary and CAA's 100th. >>We're planning a number of activities to celebrate this momentous >>year, including, a panel on the history of teaching with images, a >>business meeting and a walking tour with the LA Conservancy: >> >> >>Thursday, February 23rd >>12:30-2:00pm >>Concourse Meeting Room 403A. >>Paint, Prints and Pixels: Learning from the History of Teaching with Images >> >>Chair: John Trendler, Scripps College >> >>Revisioning Art History: How a Century of Change in Imaging >>Technologies Helped to Shape a Discipline >>Allan T.
