[Sigifp-l] ASIS&T panel proposal

[Nadia Caidi]

Hi All,
A similar request for participation in a panel I am putting together with
Pamela Samuelson (UCB,  and the Authors' Alliance Initiative) to discuss
user rights, fair use (fair dealing, in Canada) and the future of scholarly
publishing.
If you are interested, please contact me.

Best,
Nadia
