Institutional Copyright Policies: Who, How, What, and Why? Copyright law is increasingly important to colleges and universities, which are among both the biggest creators and the biggest users of copyrights at a time when copyright is itself increasingly important to our nation’s economy. But at the same time, copyright law is little known or understood on our campuses, and its default provisions frequently are at odds with our practices. The unfortunate results of this lack of knowledge and attention can include lost opportunities, internal misunderstandings and conflict, and litigation. To a significant degree, such problems can – and should – be addressed through the development and implementation of institutional policies. This practical workshop will focus on the who, how, what, and why of doing so, from both an ownership and a use perspective. *SPEAKERS:* *We have dynamic speakers and panelists this year!* Keynote speakers: Lawrence Lessig, Director, Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University, IP Scholar and author will be the opening keynote on June 6!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
