BROWN BAG LUNCH FOR UVa FACULTY
WHO: Madelyn Wessel, J.D., Special Advisor to the University Librarian and Liaison to the General Counsel, University of Virginia
WHAT: Brown bag lunch and discussion for UVa Faculty focusing on  intellectual property, copyright, and patent issues. Cookies and drinks will be provided.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 20, Noon
WHERE: Scholars' Lab Classroom in Alderman Library. Alderman Library is building #1 on this map.
The Scholars' Lab is located on the 4th floor (West wing) of Alderman Library.
WHY: Faculty have questions about copyright, intellectual property, and patents that effect your research projects, publishing endeavors, and potential income opportunities. These questions play out in the print and the online world. Recently, a UVa faculty member wondered if he could contract with a publisher for the print rights to his book, and keep the digital rights. Another faculty member wanted to know about online teaching and who owns the intellectual property involved in creating that course. Then there is the question of who owns the intellectual rights to student work. These and other topics of interest are certain to be on the lunch menu at this brown bag session. So. please come, enjoy the conversations, and seek answers to your most perplexing copyright, IP, and patent questions.

  500 TALES DISCOVERED
The Guardian newspaper reports that "A whole new world of magic animals, brave young princes and evil witches has come to light with the discovery of 500 new fairytales which were locked away in an archive in Regensburg, Germany for over 150 years. The tales are part of a collection, gathered by a local German historian, Franz Xaver von Schönwerth (1810–1886) in the Bavarian region of Oberpfalz at about the same time as the Grimm brothers were collecting their fairytales."
