<b>THEME:<br>
<br>
</b>This fifth edition of the annual NINCH/CAA Copyright Town Meeting is
devoted to intellectual property that has been specifically prepared to
be licensed for educational and scholarly use. It concerns the
distribution of copyrighted and other materials especially crafted to
meet the current and emerging needs of university artists and of art
historians, among others. The presenters will be given opportunity to
explain how their products can alter, improve, or re-create the methods
of education and research. The speakers have been asked to discuss how
their services and products specifically help fulfill educational and
scholarly missions in ways that unlicensed collections typically do not
or can not. <br>
<br>
<b>PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS:<br>
<br>
SASKIA</b> is a traditional art-history slide resource that is working to
transform its catalogue and methods from analog distribution to digital
and, in the process is inventing new formats and licensing
products.<br>
<br>
<b>AMICO</b> is a highly regarded repository and resource of digital
images for educational use. AMICO offers institutional subscriptions to
its expanding library.<br>
<br>
<b>QUESTIA</b> is an innovative effort to provide indexed digital access
to tens of thousands of published works used in undergraduate humanities
education.<br>
<br>
Not presenting, but sitting on the Q&A panel during the second half
of the program will be a representative from the <b>Academic Image
Cooperative</b> (AIC), a unique program engaged in collecting public
domain and otherwise legally unencumbered images for eventual use by art
historians, among others.<br>
<br>
In addition, Robert Panzer, the executive director of the Visual Artists
Gallery Association (<b>VAGA</b>) will discuss his organization's role as
licensing agency for artists and the means by which VAGA serves scholarly
and educational interests alongside commercial ones. In addition Mr.
Panzer is a member of the CAA Committee on Intellectual Property
(CIP).<br>
<br>
Finally, Tom Bower, a member of the intellectual property group of the
<b>National Museum of American History</b> and the Committee on
Intellectual Property of the College Art Association (CIP), will dissect
the process by which educators and scholars request permission to publish
images. The purpose of this exercise is to increase the likelihood of
applicants obtaining favorable treatment and receiving the traditional
benefits extended to scholars.<br>
