Presentation Tracks Description
The Kraemer Copyright Conference committee invites proposals on the following Conference Tracks:
- Accessibility Track
Now that the Marrakesh treaty has been ratified, people with print disabilities will have greater access to copyrighted materials. What does this landmark change in the law mean for balancing accessibility with observing copyright, and what implications does it have on our practices? - Licensing Track
The proliferation of e-resources in libraries has turned copyright law on its head: instead of copyright law governing all resources, each resource is now governed by its own legally binding licensing agreement. Where does copyright law fit into this new landscape? Can we ever get back to a single governing law for all library resources? - Open Track
This track is open to any other copyright topic that you believe will be of interest to conference participants.
Proposal Review and Notification
A volunteer subcommittee will review proposals, evaluating each on quality and clarity of content, relevance to conference themes, and ability to engage the audience.
The committee will start notifying presenters of selection decisions by Monday, April 1, 2019. At that time, we may ask presenters to consider an alternate format or co-present with others who have proposed similar topics based on reviewers' recommendations.
Additional Requirements
All presenters must register for the Kraemer Copyright Conference in order to present. Registration is free and presenters are responsible for travel and lodging.
Conference papers, presentations, and other documentation/media will be collected by the Kraemer Copyright Conference Committee Chair via email at fmartin3@uccs.edu and preserved in the Kraemer Family Library institutional repository or other appropriate and accessible platform.
Non-Commercial Policy
The Kraemer Copyright Conference programs are non-commercial educational learning experiences. Under no circumstances should a speaker promote their product, service, or other self-interest.
