Winter Online Copyright Workshops

["Olga Francois" <OFrancois@umuc.edu>]

Colleagues,

As expected ,the last workshop with Arnie Lutzker was very well 
received by participants! As leaves and snow fall for many of us, 
I urge you to register for our last two online workshops in this 
year's series. The guest moderators will be Georgia Harper and 
Gary Pavela and they will address two very different aspects of 
the legal and ethical use of copyrighted works in academia. See 
details below...

Integrating Access to Digital Course Materials: Blackboard/WebCT, 
Coursepacks, e-Reserves, Licensed Materials, e-Books, Open 
Access...What Will They Think of Next? 
http://www.umuc.edu/cip/ipa/

------------------

Dates: January 28 - February 8, 2008 (early registration ends 
January 11)
Moderator: Georgia Harper, J.D., Scholarly Communications Advisor,
University Libraries, University of Texas at Austin

This workshop will explore how integrating the various methods 
our campuses use to provide access to digital educational course 
materials can achieve long-term efficiencies and facilitate 
institutional compliance with copyright law.

We'll start with a high-level discussion of fair use and review 
the role it plays in enabling access to certain types of 
materials. Next, we'll turn to our other forms of legal authority 
to use others' works, and learn how we might integrate access to 
our libraries' existing collections of licensed materials, 
including e-books and journal articles, with those materials 
freely available on the Web, and those for which permission must 
be obtained. We'll also examine the many delivery mechanisms in 
use today to determine which features will most affect faculty 
acceptance and use of any integrated system.

Most importantly, these explorations will underscore the fact 
that creating and operating access systems for digital materials, 
and the copyright issues involved, are institutional concerns and 
not just a matter of library services. Please see site for 
detailed course objectives -

Building a Community that Values Academic Integrity
http://www.umuc.edu/cip/ipa/

-------------------

Dates: February 25 - March 7, 2008 (early registration ends February 8 )
Moderators: Gary Pavela, M.A., J.D., Director of Judicial 
Programs and Student Ethical Development, University of Maryland 
-- College Park & Kimberly Bonner, J.D., Executive Director, 
Center for Intellectual Property, University of Maryland 
University College

Studies show that establishing a community of shared academic 
values fosters academic integrity in the classroom. However, 
establishing that community may be more difficult when students 
adopt the values of a digital "remix" culture that challenges the 
traditional understanding of authorship. How do institutions 
foster academic integrity values in light of changing cultural 
norms? Are there special techniques and tools required? Are the 
best tools to use in preventing academic dishonesty "technical" 
like Turnitin.com? And are there additional legal and ethical 
issues involved when using technical measures to prevent academic 
dishonesty? Please see site for detailed course objectives-
