Subject: [Asis-l] Fwd: Information Policy Event in Washington DC

For those who will be in the Washington, D.C. area on November 18th and have an interest in information policy…

The American Library Association hopes that you’ll join us for the program “Too Good to Be True: Are the Courts Revolutionizing Fair Use for Education, Research and Libraries?” on Tuesday, November 18, 2014, at 5:30 p.m. We are delighted that Arent Fox in downtown D.C. will host the American Library Association’s inaugural symposium which promises to be a lively discussion about copyright policy in a digital and networked environment.  The panel will be followed by a reception with wine, beer and appetizers and a chance to socialize with colleagues and meet new contacts.  We hope you can attend!!

DETAILS:  The way we access and use information in the digital age is fundamentally mediated by copyright policy. For several decades, this policy has been largely shaped by commercial interests. However, in the last three years, several court decisions have been more protective of public access to information and accommodating to the needs of the education, research, and library sectors. Is this a real trend and will it continue?

Come join us to hear a panel of experts make sense of key court cases such as UCLA v. AIME, Authors Guild v. Hathi Trust, and the high profile U.S. Supreme Court case Kirtsaeng v. Wiley. These experts will also talk about the prospects these decisions may create for public policy development over the next few years informed by the 2014 elections . . . and they’ll look ahead to 2016.
