I would like to invite anyone involved in, interested in, or bothered by copyright issues in cultural heritage institutions -- and their online, social, cloud-and device-based extensions -- to the IP SIG table at the SIGs UnLuncheon UnMeeting on Friday, November 18.
The UnMeeting will replace the annual IP SIG Meeting. It is UnFormal. This is your chance to let us know what's on your mind and what you would like IP SIG networking to do for you, and to kvetch about SOPA and the Google Books UnSettlement. SIG table-hopping is fine; just pop by with your plate and join in. All are welcome.

All MCN attendees--SIG members and the newly curious--are welcome. Each SIG will have a table for free-flowing discussion, and table-hopping will enable you to join the conversation with more than one just one SIG. Advance registration via e-mail to conference at mcn.edu is required, followed by advance payment of $15 on-site at the conference registration desk. MCN is underwriting some of the lunch expense to minimize the cost to participants. This should be a fun event, so don't miss it! The Special Interest Groups (SIGs) play a vital role in extending communications and idea-sharing throughout the year. Come join us and give comments, suggestions or ask for advice about upcoming projects... and have some fun with your colleagues!
