patricia.stockw...@ppcc.edu From: videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu [mailto:videolib-boun...@lists.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Andrew Horbal Sent: Monday, October 19, 2015 10:46 AM To: videolib@lists.berkeley.edu Subject: [Videolib] FW: [copyrightx-alumni] CopyrightX 2016 application is now Live Hi Videolib-ers, Please find below a call for applications for this year’s CopyrightX course from Harvard Law School and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. Next to law school, this is, for my money, the single best way to learn more about copyright, a very popular subject on this listserv! And it’s completely free! Please feel free to email me off list at ahor...@umd.edu<mailto:ahor...@umd.edu> if you have any questions about the time commitment, level of difficulty, etc.—I completed the course last year, and would be happy to tell you about my experience. Andy Horbal Media Resources Librarian 0300 Hornbake Library University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 (301) 405-9227 ahor...@umd.edu<mailto:ahor...@umd.edu> ______ The application for the CopyrightX online sections will be open from Oct. 19 - Dec. 15. See CopyrightX:Sections<http://copyx.org/sections/> for details. CopyrightX<http://copyx.org> is a networked course that explores the current law of copyright; the impact of that law on art, entertainment, and industry; and the ongoing debates concerning how the law should be reformed. Through a combination of recorded lectures<http://copyx.org/lectures/>, assigned readings<http://copyx.org/syllabus/syllabus-for-online-sections-2015/>, weekly seminars, live interactive webcasts<http://copyx.org/events/>, and online discussions, participants in the course examine and assess the ways in which the copyright system seeks to stimulate and regulate creative expression. In 2013, HarvardX, Harvard Law School, and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society launched an experiment in distance education: CopyrightX, the first free and open distance learning course on law. After three successful offerings, CopyrightX is an experiment no longer. Under the leadership of Professor William Fisher<http://tfisher.org/>, who created and directs the course, CopyrightX will be offered for a fourth time from January to May 2016. Three types of courses make up the CopyrightX Community: • a residential course<http://copyx.org/courses/harvard-law-school/> on Copyright Law, taught by Prof. Fisher to approximately 100 Harvard Law School students; • an online course<http://copyx.org/sections/> divided into sections of 25 students, each section taught by a Harvard Teaching Fellow; • a set of affiliated courses<http://copyx.org/affiliates/> based in countries other than the United States, each taught by an expert in copyright law. Participation in the 2016 online sections is free and is open to anyone at least 13 years of age, but enrollment is limited. Admission to the online sections will be administered through an open application process that begins on October 19, 2015, and ends on December 15, 2015. We welcome applicants from all countries, as well as lawyers and non-lawyers alike. To request an application, visit http://brk.mn/applycx16. For more details, see CopyrightX:Sections<http://copyx.org/sections/>. (The criteria for admission to each of the affiliated courses are set by the course’s instructor. Students who will enroll in the affiliated courses may not apply to the online sections.) We encourage widespread promotion of the application through personal and professional networks and social media.

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.
