[MNASIS-L] Metronet Wind Down: Copyright Mashed-Up and Remixed

[Deanna Sylte, Operations Mgr.]

Join us at the Lindell Library at Augsburg College on February 3, 2010 from
4-5:30
for our first Metronet WindDown of the year!

 

Three academic librarians, Lyndi Finifrock (Bethel University), Jessica
McIntyre (Minneapolis Institute of Arts), and Betsy Dadabo (Bethel
University), will lead a lively discussion of copyright in the information
age.  The session will explore issues of copyright by showing a remix of
"RiP: A remix manifesto," an open source documentary on copyright and remix
culture by web activist and filmmaker Brett Gaylor.  The history of
copyright, development of digital copyright, intellectual property, and
Creative Commons will be addressed.  The presenters will facilitate an
interactive discussion following the film.

 

This presentation is very similar to one they gave at the Minnesota Library
Association Conference.  Attendees to their MLA presentation loved it, so we
hope you make time to join us on February 3rd.  We guarantee a good
discussion on this hot topic!
