Would you like to step behind the legal battles and economic
interests
in order to think more about the cultural values that
influence how we
think and talk about copyright? In a clear, straightforward,
engaging
style, cultural historian and media scholar Siva
Vaidhyanathan will
offer insight to help untangle some of the intricate web of
culture,
law, and technology. This workshop is an opportunity for
both the
theorist and the practitioner of copyright law and policy to
explore
some of the complex issues behind the management of
copyrights on
campus.
Goals for the course:
* Review the purpose, role, and scope of copyright and its
relation to academic culture;
* Consider some of the problems, challenges, changes, and
opportunities facing academia;
* Examine the relationship of the academy to copyright via
the
Google Library and consider important questions for both
libraries and
Google;
* Explore the current controversy surrounding e-reserves as
an
example of copyright and academic culture in conflict;
* Examine the evolving relationship between the publishing
industry and libraries.
