Subject: Intellectual Property Caucus
CCCC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CAUCUS
Wednesday, March 12, 1:30-5:00 PM
Hyatt Regency, Regency Ballroom D, 1st Floor
Pages 44-45 in your CCCC program
I hope you'll consider attending this year's CCCC Intellectual
Property Caucus on Wednesday, March 12. There are some very pressing
intellectual property issues in the wind this year, including a new
hearing for the Michigan Documents Case (about coursepack copying)
and proposed federal legislation to extend copyright (bad for scholars
and students) and to regulate the Internet and Web usage (also
potentially bad for us). At this year's Caucus, we are especially
fortunate to have as our guest speaker Professor Dennis Karjala,
a law professor who is leading the effort against copyright
legislation.
Action groups this year will focus on five areas in intellectual
property: publishing issues; electronic media; legislative and political
action; pedagogical/authorial issues; alternative models for
intellectual property.
The Caucus runs from 1:30-5:00. Refreshments are provided.
You are welcome to attend and stay for all or part of the
program. If you'd like to see the program for the Caucus,
send me email, and I will send you a copy. Hope to see you there!
Please forward this note to any colleagues who might be interested.
