>> 2000 Town Meetings >> Baltimore Copyright Confusion? Community Guides Thursday, May 18, 2000 American Association of Museums Annual Meeting Baltimore, MD Meeting Report Speakers' Biographical Sketches Agenda Resource List Copyright Confusion? Community Guides In the light of the failure of CONFU to produce guidelines accepted across the community for the fair use of copyrighted material, and as copyright issues continue to become increasingly complicated for practitioners, new guidelines are being produced from within the community to help answer many practical questions about managing and using online intellectual property. This Town Meeting will focus on the resource materials that have been developed by the American Association of Museums, the College Art Association and the Visual Resources Association to provide guidance on managing intellectual property. What questions do these guides answer and what guidance do they offer? What more is still needed by this community? What other practical resources are available? In the tradition of a town meeting there will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.
