LIBRARY EVENTS:

*Ownership of Instructional Materials/Copyright Program at IUPUI

Whose Work is it Anyway???
Exploring Copyright Ownership of Instructional Materials at IU.

Controversies in the news about "lecture notes" on the Web, and concerns at the university about "who owns my instructional website" raise difficult legal issues. Copyright law often determines the ownership of copyrighted works by default, and not always to the satisfaction of authors, employers, and publishers. Institutional policies, such as the IU Intellectual Property Policy, may create a more equitable result for some materials, and personal agreements can allow innovative sharing of ownership rights. This program will examine alternatives for better managing your own intellectual property, and it will provide an overview of IP policies and procedures for addressing the ownership of instructional materials that we create here at IU.

Join the Copyright Management Center for a wide-ranging discussion, which will take place on Thursday, November 11, 1999, 10:00 - 11:30 AM, in the University Library Auditorium on the campus of IUPUI.

The program is open to all, but seating is limited. Please let us know if you plan to attend by calling (317) 274-4400, by sending your reservation to copyinfo@iupui.edu, or by reaching us through the Copyright Management Center website at http://www.iupui.edu/~copyinfo/. For additional information about this and other CMC educational programs, please see http://www.iupui.edu/~copyinfo/eduprog.html.
