PRESYMPOSIUM SEMINARS—June 6: You will have the choice between 2
workshops offered throughout the day.

Three-hour workshops include:

•Copyright 101 - Nancy Sims, Copyright Program Librarian, University
of Minnesota: This interactive session will provide you with some
solid foundational knowledge in copyright, as well as help you build
confidence in addressing complex copyright issues in ways that will
work well for your institution.

•Policy Creation and Revision - Steve McDonald, General Counsel at
Rhode Island    Institutional Copyright Policies:  Who, How, What, and
Why? Copyright law is increasingly important to colleges and
universities, which are among both the biggest creators and the
biggest users of copyrights at a time when copyright is itself
increasingly important to our nation’s economy.  But at the same time,
copyright law is little known or understood on our campuses, and its
default provisions frequently are at odds with our practices.  The
unfortunate results of this lack of knowledge and attention can
include lost opportunities, internal misunderstandings and conflict,
and litigation.   To a significant degree, such problems can – and
should – be addressed through the development and implementation of
institutional policies.  This practical workshop will focus on the
who, how, what, and why of doing so, from both an ownership and a use
perspective.

SPEAKERS: We have dynamic speakers and panelists this year.  Keynote
speakers: Lawrence Lessig, Director, Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics
at Harvard University, IP Scholar and author will be the opening
keynote on June 6!  Peggy Hoon,  Scholarly Communications Librarian
for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) and UMUC's
Intellectual Property and Karyn Temple Claggett, Senior Counsel  for
Policy and International Affairs at the US Copyright Office will
present keynote addresses on June 7 and 8. Session Speakers:  Brandon
Butler, Director of Policy Initiatives at the Association of Research
Librarians (ARL), Donna Ferullo, Director of University Copyright
Office, Purdue University,  Katie Fortney, Librarian, University of
California, Santa Cruz, Carla Meyers, Assistant Professor and Access
