*Wylie House by Lamplight

On Saturday, December 4, from 5 to 8 pm, Wylie House Museum (IU-Bloomington) will welcome guests for its eleventh annual winter openhouse.
A special feature of the evening will be the performance of a mini-play based on the life of Sarah Parke Morrison, Indiana University's first female graduate. The play, written by Jackson Creek eighth-grader Acacia Davis, is set in the parlor of Wylie House, where Morrison lived while attending IU. The performance will take place at 6 pm.
Before and after the play, visitors will enjoy selections of early music for the fortepiano performed by Carla Williams and Sophia Travis on the graceful little instrument once owned by the Wylie family, as well as some traditional tunes on the accordion by Sophia. At about 7 pm, Paula Bourne will lead the audience in seasonal carols and songs of peace.
Admission is free. Wylie House is located at 307 E. 2nd STreet in Bloomington. For more information, call 812-855-6224 or e-mail Bonnie Williams at bvwillia@indiana.edu.

*Library Services & Copyright Developments Program at IUPUI

Digital Millennium Copyright Act:
New Challenges and New Opportunities for Libraries and Archives

Libraries often make copies of copyrighted works for research, reserves, interlibrary loans, preservation, and many other activities. For years the ability to make copies has been the subject of debate about "fair use" and about a separate legal provision applicable specifically to libraries. The DMCA, which became law only a year ago, revises a few important provisions of the law for libraries, whether working with print or digital applications. It also raises anew the questions about fair use for electronic reserves and other services. This program will be of special interest to all librarians and archivists and to researchers who regularly obtain copies of works from library collections.

Join the Copyright Management Center for a wide-ranging discussion, which will take place on Tuesday, December 7, 1999, 10:00 - 11:30 AM, in IUPUI University Library Rm. 1116. We also will distribute a new brochure and other materials focusing exclusively on library and archive activities.

The program is open to all, but seating is limited. Please let us know if you plan to attend by calling (317) 274-4400, by sending your reservation to copyinfo@iupui.edu, or by reaching us through the Copyright Management Center website at http://www.iupui.edu/~copyinfo/. For additional information about this and other CMC educational programs, please see http://www.iupui.edu/~copyinfo/eduprog.html.
