ANNOUNCEMENT AND INVITATION
6th Annual Symposium on Intellectual Property
http://www.umuc.edu
/cip/symposium
Hosted by The Center for Intellectual Property at University
of Maryland
University College
June 14-16, 2006
UMUC Inn and Conference Center Adelphi, MD
The debate over the mass digitization and global
availability of
information has raged anew ever since late 2004 when Google
publicly
launched its ambitious plans to digitize and index the
massive library
collections of Harvard University, Stanford University, the
University
of Michigan, the University of Oxford, and the New York
Public Library.
Even as the Google Print Library Project has garnered the
attention and
applause of millions of consumers and educators, it has
drawn the
ire-and litigation-of the Authors Guild and the Association
of American
Publishers.
Yahoo has likewise entered the fray with its own project to
digitize and
make available for online searching millions of books from
the
University of California, the University of Toronto, the
National
Archives of England, and the European Archive. A joint
effort with these
and several other archives and technology companies, the
Open Content
Alliance hopes to avoid much of the controversy in which
Google has been
embroiled by digitizing only works in the public domain
unless copyright
holders give explicit permission otherwise.
>From the sidewalk to the library, from the cubicle to
the boardroom, and
the classroom to the courtroom, everyone has an interest and
a stake in
how we as a society will answer the complex questions of
copyright,
piracy, fair use, ownership, access, distribution,
compensation, and
control that confront us every time we click our way along
the
information superhighway.
* How will higher education morph in coming years-and how
has it already
changed-as digital archives are built and expanded upon our
campuses?
* What will be the parameters and responsibilities of
scholarship as the
academy becomes ever more digital and digitized?
* How might our relationships to our disciplines,
repositories of
knowledge, diverse media providers, and even each other
alter as the
waves of digital content multiply, swell, and flow through
the academy?
The symposium begins on June 14th with the keynote address,
"The
Googlization of Culture." This special program
features scholar and
author Siva Vaidhyanathan of New York University. The
presentation will
be followed by a discussion involving industry experts:
* Alan Davidson, Google;
* Allan Adler, Association of American Publishers; and
* Jon Band, an attorney representing various library
organizations and
interests.
The first day of the symposium additionally gives attendees
the
opportunity to participate in one of two intensive
pre-conference
seminars:
* Copyright 101 - Arnold Lutzker, Senior Partner, Lutzker,
Lutzker &
Settlemyer, LLP
* E-Reserves Policy - Donna Ferullo, Director, University
Copyright
Office, Purdue University
