Colleges, Code, and Copyright The impact of digital networks and technological controls on copyright and the dissemination of information in higher education
June 10-11, 2004 • Adelphi, Maryland Hosted by University of Maryland University College

Symposium participants will have the opportunity to discuss the issues/solutions with expert panelists and obtain position papers on the topics. The symposium will focus on the following critical issues:
