On Thursday, October 19th, from 2:00-3:30 p.m., I'll be giving a SULAIR [1] Technology Chalk Talk on the history of copyright, hosted by the Standford Universty Library, in Room 102 of the Hewlett building (on the other side of the quad from Green library). Here's a map to the building:

I'll talk about the history of copyright, its original goals and its effects today, and will leave plenty of time for questions and discussion afterwards.

Many thanks to James Jacobs, User Services Technology Specialist at the Cubberley Education Library, for arranging this.
