Main Page - Copyright for Librarians
Main Page - Copyright for Librarians: "Copyright for Librarians is a joint project of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and Electronic Information for Libraries (eIFL), a consortium of libraries from 50 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. The goal of the project is to provide librarians in developing and transitional countries information concerning copyright law. More specifically, it aspires to inform librarians concerning:
* copyright law in general
* the aspects of copyright law that most affect libraries
* how librarians in the future could most effectively participate in the processes by which copyright law is interpreted and shaped."

Rice University | News & Media: "Nano-based RFID tag, you're it
Rice, Korean collaboration produces printable tag that could replace bar codes
Long lines at store checkouts could be history if a new technology created in part at Rice University comes to pass.
Rice researchers, in collaboration with a team led by Gyou-jin Cho at Sunchon National University in Korea, have come up with an inexpensive, printable transmitter that can be invisibly embedded in packaging. It would allow a customer to walk a cart full of groceries or other goods past a scanner on the way to the car; the scanner would read all items in the cart at once, total them up and charge the customer's account while adjusting the store's inventory."

Could electronics be what's causing runaway cars? - USATODAY.com
Could electronics be what's causing runaway cars? - USATODAY.com: "Allegations of unintended acceleration by Toyota models that are not part of the recall and by cars from other automakers have revived debate over whether electromagnetic interference is the cause of such incidents.
The theory is that electrical signals — from sources as diverse as cellphones, airport radar and even a car's own systems — briefly and unpredictably wreak havoc with sensitive electronic controls in vehicles. It's an argument trial lawyers and consumer advocates have made for years."

FCC survey shows need to teach broadband basics - USATODAY.com: "The survey found that 35% of Americans do not use broadband at home, including 22% of adults who do not use the Internet at all. Of that 35%, 36% say it is too expensive, while 19% do not see the Internet as relevant to their lives. Another 22% lack what the FCC calls 'digital literacy' skills. They fall into a category that includes people who are not comfortable with computers or who are scared of 'bad things' on the Internet.
Among people who do not use broadband, 65% say there is too much pornography and offensive material on the Internet, 57% say it is too easy for personal information to be stolen online and 46% say the Internet is too dangerous for children."
