INVITATION TO A CONFERENCE AND WORKSHOP ON NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN ELECTRONIC
COPYRIGHT
6-7 November 1997, Copenhagen

Dear colleagues,

The Danish Library Association is organising in co-operation with the
National Library Authority and EBLIDA a follow-up event to the successful
Oslo workshop which was held last year to prepare an answer to the WIPO
proposals. This year’s conference and workshop will take place on 6 and 7
November 1997 in Copenhagen and aims at informing in detail on recent
international and European developments in copyright, to prepare an EBLIDA
position paper concerning the new proposals of the European Commission and
to discuss the further strategy on national and European level.

The urgency of the meeting is due to the new directive prepared by the
European Commission which is to be published sometime this summer. This new
directive will cover the areas reproduction right, distribution right,
communication to the public right and legal protection of ECMS. For further
details, please consult the "Follow-up to the Green Paper on Copyright and
Related Rights in the Information Society", prepared by the European
Commission and the EBLIDA comments to this paper, which was published in
"Information Europe", issue 2/97.

The proposals will have far reaching consequences for the new electronic
services of libraries. EBLIDA is grateful to the Danish Library Association
and the Ntional Library Authority for co-organising this major event.
Please note that the first day is an open conference and everybody
interested is invited to attend. The second day is only open to EBLIDA
members.

Enclosed please find the programme of the conference and workshop, and the
application form with some further information. Background documentation
will be distributed to all participants prior to the workshop.

Best wishes,
Barbara Schleihagen
