However, owners of images and many publishers are not so sure about the benefits of the move online and some fear losing economic control of their copyrighted material. This Town Meeting will survey the rights challenges of publishing art history and art criticism online. The impact of the TEACH Act (Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act) on digital publishing will also be discussed as Distance Education products fit well within the spectrum that includes both traditional publishing and class-room teaching. This NINCH Copyright Town Meeting brings together authors, publishers, museum administrators, legal counsel, and culture and media historians to discuss their experiences and provide their advice for moving forward. As with all NINCH Copyright Town Meetings, the audience is encouraged to participate and ample time is reserved for that purpose. AGENDA INTRODUCTIONS Welcome and Introductions Robert A.
