Dear Colleagues,

I am developing a "how to" guide on developing intellectual property
policies in museums (in collaboration with The Canadian Heritage
Information Network (CHIN) and the National Initiative for a
Networked Cultural Heritage (NINCH), who will be publishing the
guide) and am interested in reviewing existing copyright and
intellectual property policies from museums as background research
for this project.  If your institution has such a policy that you
would be willing to share with me for research purposes (submissions
will be kept confidential), I would be grateful if you would send
them to me at the contact information listed below.

Please note that at this time I am only interested in policies (i.e.,
statements of principles that provide the basis for consistent
decision-making and that usually require approval of an institution's
upper administration or Board), not procedures and practices (i.e.,
statements of how you implement the policy, such as R&R procedures,
fee schedules, etc.).

My sincerest thanks to all who are willing to share their policy information.

Regards,

Diane Zorich
