| 10:00 AM | Intellectual Property Rights Awareness on Our Campuses [KJ Auditorium] |
| For a variety of reasons—legal, bandwidth usage, etc.—it’s in our colleges’ best interest to raise awareness of copyright issues among our various constituencies. In fact the recently passed Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization (TEACH) Act requires educational institutions that benefit from the act’s allowances to implement awareness tools for its users. This session would look at what’s required of our institutions as well as what is desirable to promote good citizenship on our campuses. | |

As such it promises to revolutionize the ways that students and educators interact with music information. But when can we expect the fruits of this highly specialized research to make their way to our libraries and classrooms and how can we as educators, librarians, and technologists help it along? | |

SMIL is typically used for ‘rich media’/multimedia presentations which integrate streaming audio and video with images, text or any other media type. SMIL is an easy-to-learn HTML-like language, and many SMIL presentations are written using a simple text-editor.” This will be a hands-on workshop with instruction followed by practice time in a lab. | |
