Subject: International conference on copyright and universities

Dear madam/sir,

Some months ago we informed you about the upcoming international
conference on 'Copyright and Universities: from Principles to Practices',
which was to be held on December 6-7 in Zwolle, the Netherlands. Since you
unfortunately could not participate in this conference we hereby inform
you about the outcomes. Among other conference topics, participants
deliberated the 'Zwolle Principles', which are a first move towards
improving access to scholarly information. The conference participants
endorsed the outlines of these principles. Apart from the Zwolle
Principles, identifying future initiatives and promoting the
implementation of copyright policy in universities were also central
conference themes.

More information about this conference, such as a press release and a
conference report can be found on the website Copyright Management for
Scholarship (http://www.surf.nl/copyright). This site offers more
information regarding this topic, such as key issues and good practices,
examples of copyright policies, agreements with publishers and links to
relevant organisations. Also, here you can subscribe to the alert service.

With kind regards,

Drs. Gerard M. van Westrienen
