[MNASIS-L] Publication, the Public University, and the Public Interest

[Janet M. Arth]

The University of Minnesota is hosting this conference on April 19. Entitled
"Publication, the Public University, and the Public Interest," the
presidential conference proposes to tackle myriad issues about the
changing landscape of publishing, copyright, and faculty rewards.

Speakers:
    Paul Courant, University of Michigan (speaking to university
roles and investments)
"Conservative Revolutionaries and Revolutionary Conservators:
Universities and Scholarship in the Digital Age"

    Siva Vaidhyanathan, NYU (speaking to copyright and
intellectual property issues)
"Critical Information Studies: A Manifesto"

    Ed Ayers, University of Virginia (speaking to new genre and
faculty rewards)
"Scholarship in the Digital Age"

The event will be webcast and also archived for future replay. We
hope the broader librarian and scholarly community will be interested
in virtual attendance. Details about the conference and the webcast
