Commentary: Technological Change, Intellectual Property, and Academic Libraries

An Outline of the Issues

American University

Observations are made from the perspective of an academic librarian who is concerned with both protecting the rights of intellectual property holders and ensuring the fair use of information for the creation of new knowledge and the common good. The article comments on several factors related to intellectual property (political, economic, and cultural contexts, time constraints, and the nature of software and cyberspace) that were contained in papers presented at a 1995 conference. The author concludes by recommending that a new legislative model be designed to address appropriately the complexities of intellectual property in the on-line environment.
