Ain't Misbehavin': Using Music in Course Instruction and E-Publishing
Can you digitally stream a recorded performance of a musical piece in the classroom or use a digital copy of a work for course reserves or on an instructional Web site? What permissions do you need to include part of a musical work in a Web site or CD that supports a scholarly publication? Permission requirements for the use of music in the online environment are very different than in the analog recording or print environment. Campus experts will discuss these and other issues regarding music in performance, instruction, publication, and creation.

Data Access and Sharing: New Policies and Guidelines for the Twenty-First Century
Sharing data with colleagues used to be simple, but not any longer. Anyone who collects data or uses survey data in classes and quantitative research is encouraged to come and find out what has changed and how to get help. This session will provide details on emerging campus policies and guidelines for accessing social science data, including online registration, license agreements, data protection plans, human subjects approval, and the fair/responsible use of data in courseware.
All three sessions will be held at the Faculty Center. Admission and lunch are free, but registration is required. For more information and to register, visit the Faculty and the Collections Web site.
This series is co-sponsored by the UCLA Library, Academic Senate, Academic Senate Committee on Library, and the Office of Intellectual Property Administration.
