(!) >>Dealing with copyright issues.....a topic I am always interested in. Thanks for the suggestion, Donna. We _will_ have a guest speaker for a one-hour session on Intellectual Property, at the IALLT 2003 conference. (Part of the abstract is appended below.) Consider this: if we had a more informal discussion session, what would interest you most? -- how to seek permissions? -- how to track down distributors? -- how to handle academic content developed at your center? -- what's the latest lawsuit? -- digital issues in IP? Anyone who has questions and/or concerns is encouraged to weigh in! IALLT 2003 conference, University of Michigan Session #287 Friday June 20 A leading attorney in Intellectual Property will lead a relevant and lively discussion of copyright issues, software licensing, technology transfer, and other areas relating to the Internet. The session will present issues that are beyond the basics, without forgetting the simple concept behind copyright protection: to promote the progress of science and useful arts. There will be time devoted to questions and audience discussion. for more program listings, see www.lsa.umich.edu/lrc/iallt/conference_schedule.html best, bruce
