Class Description: This course examines digital copyright and gives students a legal and policy framework to evaluate the myriad of copyright scenarios librarians face today. Copyright issues permeate the library's digital environment, from virtual reference to full-text book scanning projects to library Web site design. In order to participate in the active debate about fair use, digital rights management systems, database legislation and the like, librarians need to be well versed in both the newest interpretations and the basics of copyright.

Carlos, I've seen your blog and it would sure be fun to have you in the class. If another of your classes falls through, keep this one in mind! And thanks for passing it along.

Sounds excellent, and if I hadn't already finalized my Fall schedule at UT Austin I'd take it. I'll pass it along to others. ^_^
