Digital Rights Management: Whose Rights Are We Protecting?

Tuesday, January 28, 2003
1:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. SESS27

Garret Sern, Government Relations Officer, EDUCAUSE

The higher education community is under increased pressure to control illegal file sharing of copyrighted works over their networks. How do we balance the need to encourage good cyber-citizenship while protecting the integrity of our networks and community privacy?

Garret Sern, a member of the EDUCAUSE policy team that closely tracks intellectual property and related issues, will lead a dialogue on the challenges facing college and university presidents and IT administrators in striking this balance. The education and library communities' technical responsibilities under the TEACH Act, proposed legislation impacting peer-to-peer networks and the future of fair use, and recent arguments before the Supreme Court whether to extend the term of copyright will be discussed.

New Strategies and Roles for Supporting Teaching and Learning

Monday, January 27, 2003
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. SESS04

Kathleen Christoph, Director, Academic Technology, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Carrie E. Regenstein, Executive Director, Computing Services, Carnegie Mellon University

What has remained constant and what has changed since the NLII's inception in 1994? Our goal of supporting the use of information technology to enhance learning endures, while the technologies, rate of technological change, society's expectations of higher education, and most of all, the students and the faculty have changed.

Students now arrive on campus relying on technology as an integral part of their lives. As faculty face significant demands on their time and attention in the academy, they are less likely to use technology as pervasively as their students. Transformation in the new environment requires new conversations and new collaborations. It is time to reconsider our strategies and roles to effectively serve students and faculty in this new environment. Knowing that there is no magic bullet or pre-existing recipe for success, what strategies should we consider -and what roles might we play?

We will present a snapshot of the current environment and comment on its origins. We will then suggest new ways to bridge purely student-centered or faculty-centered support models.
