NOTES FROM RAMSEY LIBRARY; 2007-3

The Information Commons and the Future of Innovation, Scholarship, and Creativity

Please excuse the late invitation. If interested and if time permits, I hope you will all be able to join in an EDUCAUSE online seminar entitled “The Information Commons and the Future of Innovation, Scholarship, and Creativity.” The program will be from 1 to 2 pm, Thursday, 2/15 in the Kimmel Lab (behind the Reference Desk on the main floor) in Ramsey Library.

This seminar will discuss how intellectual property law and communications policy affect competition, innovation, creativity, and free speech. Gigi B. Sohn, cofounder and president of Public Knowledge, a nonprofit organization that addresses the public’s stake in the convergence of communications policy and intellectual property law, will discuss current policy debates before Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, and the U.S. Copyright Office that could impact these values and the higher education community.
