Winner of the 2007 Frederick Jackson Turner Award and the 2006 William P. Clements Prize for the Best Non-Fiction Book on Southwestern America, Violence Over the Land “begins with the premise that too many histories written about the United States downplay the violence perpetrated by its citizens on native peoples.” (Harvard University Press) Dr. Blackhawk teaches in the History and American Indian Studies Departments at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His areas of specialization and teaching interest include North American Indian history, culture, and identity from U.S. colonial to the 21st century; race and multiculturalism; comparative colonialisms; borderlands studies; and race and violence. The series is sponsored by the ASU American Indian Studies Program, ASU Department of English, ASU American Indian Policy Institute, ASU Labriola Center, and the Heard Museum. Recorded on January 28, 2008 at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. A video of the presentation, including Dr. Simon Ortiz’s introduction, is available from The Library Channel at ASU on iTunes U, Google Video and the Internet Archive.

On February 23, 2007 Alberto Ríos, Regents’ Professor of English, Arizona State University, gave the closing keynote to FORO 2007. He asks, “In the next century, so hungry for answers and so fearful of ideas, how do we move forward? And more than that, how do we move forward together?”

Along with self-reflective anecdotes, Alberto sends out six hopeful challenges to librarians as caring and thinking people:

1. Diversity: It is not a goal but a means by which we will arrive at something greater than we currently understand.
2. Invisible Populations: We need solutions not laws
3. Economics: We must move from a money economy to an idea economy.
4. Dialogue: We need to move back to true conversation. Half of language is listening. Are libraries listening and do they know how to listen?
5. Languages: With many languages come many answers. Languages are a richness and a solution, not a problem. Words are ideas, and ideas lead to vital and evolving solutions.
6. Education: It never fails us. An educated person learns how to solve problems. We will pay for education, but it always pays us back.

“Every pencil is filled with a book. It’s my job to know that, to believe it, and to act on it.” – Alberto Ríos

Alberto Ríos is the author of eight books and chapbooks of poetry, three collections of short stories, and a memoir. His memoir about growing up on the border, called Capirotada, was published by University of New Mexico Press in 1999. Ríos is the recipient of the Arizona Governor’s Arts Award, fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, the Walt Whitman Award, the Western States Book Award for Fiction, five Pushcart Prizes in both poetry and fiction, and inclusion in The Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry, as well as over 150 other national and international literary anthologies. His work is regularly taught and translated, and has been adapted to dance and both classical and popular music. Ríos is presently Regents’ Professor of English at Arizona State University.

Episode 44

Part 2 of The Library Channel’s special three-part video series from FORO 2007: The Transborder Library Forum held in 2007 at Arizona State University.

Dennis S. Karjala, the Jack E. Brown Professor of Law at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, considers the basic notion of “intellectual property” and problems with its legal protection:

• Why too much protection is a bad idea
• Why enforcement is sometimes difficult
• Why the scope and duration of intellectual property rights are limited in comparison with rights in tangible property

He describes how copyright subject matter has traditionally been distinguished from patent subject matter and how our treatment of computer software has blurred the issue and undermined attempts to make sensible information policy decisions with respect to digital works.

Karjala then considers the enforcement problems for copyright-protected works that the internet has posed, such as P2P networks and the liability of internet service providers for infringements that occur on or through their systems. He also talks about the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which potentially gives vastly expanded rights to copyright owners with little or no quid pro quo to content users. He considers the adequacy of the notion of “copying” as a measure of the protected property right, using the Google Library Project as an example. Finally, he outlines the Berne Convention and the WTO TRIPS agreement as the current source of international copyright law.

For the next few weeks The Library Channel presents a special three-part video series from FORO 2007: The Transborder Library Forum held this year at Arizona State University.

Part 1: Janice R. Lachance, Special Libraries Association CEO, a member of the US delegation to the World Summit on the Information Society 2005 and the UN Internet Governance Forum 2006, discusses her role with the SLA and the role technology and the Internet play in a global library network.

FORO began in 1989 at a local Arizona library conference where librarians from United States and Mexico discussed the need to create a network where they could meet and discuss issues of common interest while exchanging information and resources across borders.

The theme for this years conference is, “Bridging the Digital Divide-Crossing All Borders.” Each episode includes one of the three keynote speeches which address how libraries can facilitate access and exchange of information, resources, and culture through technology, “… crossing all borders.”

Spring 2006 Arizona University Libraries Consortium Meeting, Tempe, Arizona

On Friday, February 17th, the ASU Libraries hosted the twice-yearly ARIZONA UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES CONSORTIUM meeting. This year’s highlight was also the way the attendees started their day: the Student Panel: “Academic Libraries in Transition: Here’s What Students Have to Say”. Five students from various academic levels and backgrounds came together and were engaged as a panel by moderator JoAnn Mulvihill. Panelists were asked questions covering topics such as what types of technologies they preferred to use, what time and where they preferred to write papers, how they learned about how to use the library or new library technologies, and what improvements they’d like to see the libraries undertake.

The panelists were charming, engaging, and offered an amazing amount of insight into how the student community is using the library system and the tools we provide.

Student Participants: Elizabether Miller, Michael Perez, Lynn Mantion, Jenna Lathrop, Brian Collier
