     Unlike Federal Government documents, state government documents receive copyright protection by default. Join us for a panel presentation on the following topics:


    * Discussion of State Government Information and Copyright


    * Issues that libraries, digital repositories and state agencies, specifically state libraries, face with copyright ambiguity.


    * The work FSGI: Free State Government Information is doing to address this little discussed but major issue. http://stategov.freegovinfo.info/
