Indiana University Copyright Management Center
Announces
The Second
Indiana University
Online Copyright Tutorial
The Copyright Management Center for Indiana
University is delighted to invite you to
participate in this innovative and updated
opportunity for learning about the meaning of
copyright for your teaching, research, and other
activities at the university. The Indiana
University Online Copyright Tutorial is a series
of short, informal, readable, and (we hope)
helpful messages delivered to you in electronic
form, via a listserv, approximately three times
per week. The new series will begin September 2
and extend through the fall semester.
Copyright is rapidly changing. The inaugural
tutorial has been revised and updated to include
new trends, developments, and strategies in
copyright, such as:
-
A new court decision that directly
addresses the fair use of historical
and literary manuscripts for scholarly
purposes; -
Legislation in Congress that may change
the term of protection for copyrights; -
New court rulings about the possible
immunity of state colleges and
universities from infringement claims; -
Developments in the law for distance
learning; and -
Congressional action to create new
“copyright-like” protections for
databases and to secure digital
resources.
While this tutorial is designed particularly for
educators, librarians, and staff–especially at
Indiana University–anyone who is interested is
welcome to subscribe and be a part of it. We also
welcome previous subscribers who are looking for a
refresher and coverage of new developments.
To subscribe, simply send an email message to:
listserv@listserv.iupui.edu.
Leave the subject blank and do not use a signature
block. The full text of your message should read:
sub Copyright-Online-L [your real name]
For example: sub Copyright-Online-L Jane Doe
After your subscription has been received, you will
receive a “confirmation request” to which you must
respond. You will be required to reply to the
message with the word “ok” in the body of the reply
message (do not include a copy of the message sent
to you – only the word “ok”). This will confirm
that your email address is valid. Following the
confirmation, you will receive an email message
indicating that you have been subscribed. The
message will provide “rules” about how the list
functions and instructions for un-subscribing
from the list.
