Top Cyberspace Law Cases of 1997
http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/iclp/97cases.html
Acting Professor Jerry Kang of the University of California, Los Angeles
Law School provides this handy compendium for the well-known UCLA Online
Institute for Cyberspace Law and Policy. Twelve cases make up the site,
including Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union, American Library
Association v. Pataki, and NBA (National Basketball Association) v.
Motorola. Each case is accompanied by a brief explanation, as well as links
to the actual court ruling (when available, and from a variety of sources),
and/or other information about the case. While not all users may agree with
Professor Kang's choices, Top Cyberspace Law Cases of 1997 is a very useful
and illustrative resource about this emerging legal topic. [JS]

3. Small Press Month -- March, 1998

Small Press Month -- March, 1998
To Honor Small Presses Nationwide
"In a year when some larger publishers have taken extraordinary steps
in response to a financial pinch, small presses on the whole are
thriving," says Whitney North Seymour, Jr., founder of the Small Press
Center. Jan Nathan, Executive Director of the Publishers Marketing
Association,
substantiates this with specific figures, based on a recent PMA
sponsored survey of 177 small, independent publishers by the Brenner
Information Group: average annual revenue for 1997 was up 6%, to
$420,248.
To broaden the public's awareness of books by small presses and to
increase their market acceptance, Small Press Month will be observed
nationwide throughout the month of March, 1998.
Readings, special exhibits, promotions, lectures and workshops will
focus on the exciting spectrum of books by the 30,000 small independent
publishers who publish approximately 1,000,000 books a year.
"Despite the encouraging news of increasing revenues for small
presses, there are still thousands of small presses operating on a
shoestring, confronting the same problems that the large publishing
conglomerates face," notes Karin Taylor, Executive Director of the Small
Press Center in New York. "Many small presses do not have the expertise or
deep pockets to cover problems in advertising, publicity, and returns.
Small Press Month will help them by showing the public what the small press
offers and
stimulating the public to request the most recent small press books from
the book stores and libraries."
Small Press Month is co-sponsored by two non-profit organizations, the
Small Press Center and Publishers Marketing Association and PMA's affiliates.
Additional support has been provided by Small Press Magazine and
SPAN (Small Publishers Association of North America).

9. Women Halting Online Abuse
Sent to the reflector for a seminar, "Information Technology and
Communication /Cultural Issues":
Dear Everyone,
Regarding our class discussion on gender differences in communicatiing
via the Internet and flaming, the following website may be of interest:
http://www.whoa.femail.com
WHOA! (Women Halting Online Abuse)'s purpose is "to educate the
Internet community about online harassment, empower victims of
harassment, and formulate voluntary policies that systems can adopt in
order to create harassment-free environments. WHOA fully supports the
right to free speech both online and off, but asserts that free speech is
not protected when it involves threats to the emotional or physical safety
of anyone. " Its membership is mainly made up of women, but it
welcomes men "who demonstrate sensitivity toward the issues of
harassment and a willingness to support" this cause.

This came my way from a Gainesville activist, the first I'd heard of it.
The list of suggested gender-equity actions at the end is impressive.
--Charles
From: Betsy Forkas, Sysop, 104706,650 #330695
Myra and David Sadker are the researchers who have showed that despite
Title IX, U.S. schools are shortchanging girls and our future every day.
This is a great list, pass it on! March is Women's History Month in the
schools, one of the few times schools do something in the curriculum to
recognize women's rights--any lesson plan ideas are very helpful at this
time.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR Myra Sadker Day
March 5, 1998
A National Effort to Break Gender Barriers
The purpose of Myra Sadker Day is to create a national rallying
point to promote gender equity. This visible marker will draw on a
national corps of volunteers in an effort to break the gender barriers
that inhibit both females and males.
The first annual celebration of Myra Sadker Day will be held on March 5,
1998, on what would have been Myra's fifty-fifth birthday.
Myra Sadker: The Person
This day is named in honor of Dr. Myra Pollack Sadker (1943-1995).
Dr. Sadker pioneered much of the research documenting gender bias in
America's schools. From grade school through graduate school, from inner
city to rural towns, she uncovered not only blatant gender discrimination
in textbooks and sports funding, but also subtle patterns of inequities
that shaped the way teachers instructed students. She found that boys
dominated the classroom, receiving more frequent, active, direct and
precise instruction. Sometimes this attention was positive, sometimes
negative, sometimes it was appreciated by boys, and at other times boys
found the spotlight uncomfortable. Sitting in the same classroom, Myra
Sadker found that girls, regardless of racial or ethnic or class
background, were being consistently, if unintentionally, shortchanged.
Such bias is not confined to schools. From corporate board rooms to
social and recreational settings, females still find themselves the
object of biased words and behaviors, frequently silenced or
short-changed by the expectations and actions of others. And males also
pay a price. Sexism often blinds boys to a real understanding of the
meaning of their future role as husbands and fathers, missed
opportunities which add to the high divorce and child abandonment
statistics later in life. High teenage pregnancy rates among females and
the culture of violence surrounding males are other costs of gender
stereotyping. This is a cycle which needs to be stopped. Sexism is not a
"girls' only" issue. It is a two edged sword: sexism injures girls, but
it harms boys as well.
Through her writings and lectures, Myra Sadker alerted Americans to
the academic, physical, psychological and career costs of sexism. She
wrote the first book for teachers on the issue of sexism in 1973. Over
twenty years later, in 1994, she coauthored the first popular book on
this topic: Failing at Fairness: How America's Schools Cheat Girls.
Between these two publications, Myra Sadker brought her cause for
educational equity to a national audience. Along with her husband David,
Myra Sadker spoke in mor e than forty states and overseas, giving
hundreds of presentations and workshops for teachers and parents
concerned with the negative impact of sexist behaviors. She wrote scores
of articles on how to raise and teach children free from the debilitating
impact of sexism. She also spoke out on this issue on a variety of
television shows ranging from Oprah Winfrey to Dateline, from the Today
Show to National Public Radio's All Things Considered. Even in the face
of political opposition, Myra Sadker never waivered in her efforts on
behalf of youth.
The Myra Sadker Advocates are dedicated to building and expanding on
Myra's ground breaking efforts, and continuing her advocacy on behalf of
children.
Myra Sadker: The Day
Myra Sadker Day will draw volunteers from around the nation, volunteers
who individually or in groups, will identify, plan, and implement at
least one activity that increases gender equity and understanding. These
activities will range from modest gestures to major initiatives. As an
example, a leading participant in this effort, The Boys and Girls Clubs
of America, will be enlisting both staff and members at clubs throughout
the nation to participate. Volunteers, who are called Myra Sadker
Advocates, include teachers and parents influenced by her writings and
lectures, former students, youth service workers, children of all ages,
and citizens from across the nation who are committed to the goal of
gender equity.
The day will be fueled by the commitment of these volunteers. Their
energy will be evident through a range of efforts including: creating an
award ceremony for the boy and/or girl who does the most to promote
gender equity, visiting to a women's college, working with adults and
youth to eliminate gender bias in their language, interviewing
non-traditional workers to learn about the benefits of nontraditional
occupations, reading non-sexist stories to younger children, developing
posters that promote equity, doing presentations about gender equity in
schools, attending a women's athlet ic event, creating a videotape,
organizing workshops for men on effective parenting strategies,
reformulating organizational norms, rules or activities to construct a
more equitable working climate. Key to this concept is that each Advocate
will be encouraged to be creative, to develop unique equity activities
that reflect the interests and capabilities of their community . Yet
together they will be part of a national effort in accomplishing these
goals.
Myra Sadker Advocates are currently seeking corporate and individual
participants.

Subject: LIBRARY ADOVCACY ALERT
LIBRARY ADOVCACY ALERT
From: American Library Associastion
Washington Office
Date: February 23, 1998
Please share this alert with others who support libraries and
public access to information.
Immediate Action Needed: Library supporters represented by any
member of the full House Judiciary Committee -- especially members of
its Subcommittee on Courts and Intellectual Property -- are asked to
write, call or fax their representatives as soon as possible regarding
two bills strongly opposed by the library community:
* H.R. 2281, the WIPO Copyright Treaties Implementation
Act -- a flawed and incomplete proposal to protect the rights
of some information owners that would jeopardize the future
of fair use and the public's access to electronic
information); and
* H.R. 2652, the Collection of Information Antipiracy Act
-- a dangerously over broad bill to provide sweeping new
protection for "databases" that threatens access to even
public domain information).
These bills are scheduled to be considered by the Subcommittee on
February 26 and March 12. No such markup is scheduled for
WIPO-related bill -- H.R. 3048, the Digital Era Copyright Enhancement Act
sponsored by Reps. Rick Boucher (D-VA) and Tom Campbell (R-CA)
and supported by the library community. This bill would update the
nation's copyright laws in a way that fully protects fair use, digital
preservation, library lending, distance education, and access to
technology needed to engage in such activities.
Contact information follows.
KEY MESSAGE POINTS
* It is premature for the Subcommittee on Courts and
Intellectual Property to vote on either HR 2652 or HR 2281;
* Additional hearings are needed on HR 2652 to determine
whether the protection it would provide is justified, and a
first hearing is needed on the library-friendly HR 3048; and
* Members of the House Judiciary Committee are encouraged to
evaluate and cosponsor HR 3048.
