Main Page - Copyright for Librarians

Main Page - Copyright for Librarians: "Copyright for Librarians is a joint project of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and Electronic Information for Libraries (eIFL), a consortium of libraries from 50 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. The goal of the project is to provide librarians in developing and transitional countries information concerning copyright law. More specifically, it aspires to inform librarians concerning:

* copyright law in general
* the aspects of copyright law that most affect libraries
* how librarians in the future could most effectively participate in the processes by which copyright law is interpreted and shaped."

Passings

Sparklehorse
shot himself through the heart
in an alley outside a friend’s house.

Mr. Linkous developed a style
that sent sunny, Beatles-esque
melodies through a filter of
crackling, damaged
folkrock. His songs were filled
with entropic imagery.

He was born to a family with
roots in the coal-mining country.
