The ARL's Know Your Copy Rights is a multifaceted campus copyright education initiative that accentuates the positive and emphasizes what you can do with copyrighted materials. This effort offers resources, including a unique brochure, specifically created for all campus constituencies with the assistance of nationally recognized copyright educators.

Brigham Young University's Copyright Licensing Office is dedicated to promoting copyright education, securing permissions, and increasing legal compliance. This session will cover several tools developed to accomplish these goals, including a university copyright policy, an online tutorial, a resource manual for faculty, a helpful Web site, and databases to process permissions requests.

This session will discuss the methods and preliminary results of the first and second steps of a three-step process for assessing a survey's validity. The survey of interest was designed to expand on McVay (2000, 2001) and Bernard et al. (2004), as well as examine learner characteristics and technology capabilities of online students.

Collaborative research teaches students critical knowledge management skills, whether they are undergraduates learning the basics of Web research or advanced scholars defining their own knowledge domains. Faculty need practical examples and strategies to initiate social bookmarking activities. Case studies demonstrate how this has been accomplished in undergraduate and graduate courses.
