One area that is of interest to me (&my responsibility) has to do with copyright. We seem tobe ok at images "in the hand" but I cannot grasp the rules (if any) associated with digitised images on the web/net. At a recent copyright seminar (Canadian) I was informed that a digitised image is not a photograph and therefore not subject to the same copyright restrictions. I'm not sure what this means. Can anybody help me? " The Heritage Forum at the Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) Web site at http://www.chin.gc.ca has several items about copyright legislation. Some of the information refers to images. Have a look under "Copyright" in the List of Topics. FYI, the Forum is an interactive journal with information for museum- and heritage professionals. All documents, Web links, and information about listservs are organized by topic for easy retrieval. If you know of any useful heritage-related sites or if your working group or committee has reports or studies that you would like to share with your fellow professionals, please get in touch with me. The Forum is there to meet your needs, but we have to know what your needs are!
