Explore the American Studies Electronic Crossroads Project's Innovistas page for examples of how people have used the web in their teaching and course design. Read over this page on academic uses of the world-wide web (by James O'Donnell, a classicist at the University of Pennsylvania) for some suggestions on doing things like these yourself.
  • Recommended: For other useful sites, see the American Studies Electronic Crossroads Project, the H-Net Teaching Project, the Institute for Learning Technologies at Columbia University, the WebLab at Indiana University, Alan Liu's Voice of the Shuttle web page for humanities research, Jack Lynch's collection of literature syllabi, James O'Donnell's information page, New Tools for Teaching, and his links on Networked Technology in the Service of....

    11:00 A.M. Fair Use Panel. 
  • Copyright issues in the electronic world (Steve Worona, Bob Sedgewick, Peter Jeffery)
  • Readings: Check out Kenneth Crews's "What Qualifies as Fair Use?" (The Chronicle of Higher Education, 5/17/96) and the American Library Association Office for Information Technology Policy's Intellectual Property and Technology page (February 1997) for two short and easy-to-read overviews of the issues surrounding fair use. Skim the U.S. Copyright Act (1976) and the Berne Convention (1979), two documents from which most of the debates over intellectual property stem. If all this isn't enough for you, check out the controversy started by the Clinton White House's 1995 "white paper" on intellectual property--for instance, a response from Pamela Samuelson (Wired 4.01).
  • Recommended: The recent (May/June 1998) issue of Academe focuses on issues relating to intellectual property; for on-line overviews of debates over fair use, see Samuel Trosow's "License to Kill? Copyright Ownership and Fair Use in an Age of Licensing" (5/10/97), the American Association of University Professors' position paper, Academic Freedom and Electronic Communications (June 1997), and Daniel Rubey's "Intellectual Property or Highway Robbery? Copyright, Fair Use, and Authorship in the Digital Age" (11/18/97); the excellent reference sites maintained by Cornell University, Stanford University, and the University of California at Berkeley; and the brilliant "crash course in copyright" offered by the University of Texas.
  • For handy overviews of the legislative issues and initiatives involved, see the pages maintained by the U.S. Copyright Office of the Library of Congress and the Washington Office of the American Library Association. For up-to-the minute reporting, the e-journals Intellectual Property Magazine, Law Journal Extra!, and Netwatchers Cyberzine are also useful (the Chronicle of Higher Education maintains a website on information technology, but you or your department needs to subscribe to the on-line version to access it). For one interpretation of "fair use," click here.
  • Finally, for major institutions and organizations that have a position and stake in these debates, see the pages of the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, CAUSE, the Coalition for Networked Information, the Computer Policy and Law Program at Cornell University, the Conference on Fair Use, the Consortium for Educational Technology in University Systems, the Copyright Clearance Center, the Copyright Management Center, the Digital Future Coalition, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Clinton Administration's Information Infrastructure Task Force, the Intellectual Property Center, the National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage, the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Group (an affiliate of AAHE), the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the World Intellectual Property Organization.

  • Readings: For position papers on the role of electronic publications in the job search and promotion process, see the Modern Language Association's Statement on Computer Support (1993) and the report of the Committee on Electronic Publication and Tenure (1997) at Rutgers University. Of course, policies and procedures vary from department to department, even within the same university, so it's always important to test the waters for yourself.
  • For a sense of the larger institutional and political issues that IT raises for the university and the professoriate, see the contrasting perspectives of Carol Twigg on The Need For A National Learning Infrastructure and David Noble on Digital Diploma Mills.
  • Recommended: For useful organizations on issues facing graduate students, see the Graduate Student Caucus of the Modern Language Association, their journal Workplace, and the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students.
