Or are they the property of the academic institution employing the faculty member? Can these online courses legally be considered works for hire? Join Daniel Burk, University of Minnesota School of Law professor, for a discussion of these and other legal issues surrounding copyright ownership allocation on Thursday, March 23, 2000 at 3:30 pm in the Milton S. Eisenhower Library's Garrett Room. A national expert and consultant on intellectual property in the university, Burk has written extensively on the legal and societal impact of new technologies, including articles on the intellectual property implications of global computer networks. See his article entitled, "Ownership of Electronic Course Materials in Higher Education" for a review of the issues surrounding ownership of electronic course materials. Burk has faculty appointments at the University of Minnesota Law School and the Center for Bioethics. He has served as a legal advisor to a variety of private, governmental, and intergovernmental organizations, including the American Committee for Interoperable systems, the OECD Committee on Consumer Protection and the U. S. State Department Working Group on Intellectual Property, Interoperability and Standards. A reception will follow Burk's talk. The event is free and open to the public. For reservations or more information about the program, call (410) 516-8328. The Sheridan Libraries encompass the Milton S. Eisenhower Library and its collections at the Hutzler Reading Room, Garrett Library and the George Peabody Library. ### Johns Hopkins University news releases can be found on the World Wide Web at Headlines @ Hopkins | |||||||||||||
