NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT
November 14, 1997



      UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES & MUSEUMS IN THE DIGITAL MARKETPLACE
              Yale Center for British Art, Lecture Hall
                    Friday, November 21, 1997
                             1:00-5:00pm

The Digital Media Center for the Arts at Yale will host its first annual
symposium on Friday, November 21, 1997.  Devoted to the theme "University
Libraries and Museums in the Digital Marketplace," the symposium will
address the opportunities and challenges posed by the emerging digital
marketplace to research universities with distinguished library and museum
collections.   Questions to be addressed will include:
*  How can the mission of a research university be most fully realized in
the digital arena?
*  What does this new arena mean for the university's traditional mission
of collecting, teaching, learning, and discovery?
*  What challenges and opportunities does this new arena pose in the realms
of intellectual property, copyright and distance learning?

The first half of the symposium will be devoted to these themes, with the
second half providing an overview of emerging digital marketplace models.

Speakers will include:
*  Charles Altschul, noted lecturer and consultant on multimedia technology
and the arts,
*  Susan Ball, Executive Director of the College Art Association
*  Michael Ester, President of Luna Imaging, Inc., and
*  Geoffrey Samuels, founder of the Museum Licensing Collective.

A round table discussion will conclude the symposium, and a reception will
follow. Participants will include Scott Bennett (University Librarian), Dan
Updegrove (Director of Information Technology Services), and Richard Benson
(Dean of the School of Art), as well as the speakers.

This event is sponsored by the new Digital Media Center for the Arts, an
interdisciplinary site for learning, teaching and expression in the arts,
with support from the following programs: the Yale Center for British Art,
the Yale University Art Gallery, the Yale Schools of Art, Architecture,
Drama, and Music, the Yale University Library, and Yale Information
Technology Services.  It is part of the ongoing ITS Lecture Series.
