EMU Distance Education

As part of Open Access Week 2013, the EMU library will present the documentary film "RIP! A Remix Manifesto," tonight, Oct. 24, 5 - 7 p.m. in room 300, Halle Library. The film explores issues of copyright in the twenty-first century. Are mashups and remixes legal? Do copyright laws inhibit creativity? Who should control creative content? The documentary will be followed by a discussion on copyright and creativity. This event is free, open to the public, and LBC approved. For more information, please visit the “RIP! A Remix Manifesto”research guide.

Open Access Week is October 21 and 27. The library has created a display on the first floor near the stairwell.

A DVD will be shown in The Halle library from 7-9 pm. tonight in room 300. Professor Russ Olwell will lead the discussion after viewing the DvD about a predominately Arab-American high school football team from a working-class Detroit suburb as they practice for their big cross-town rivalry game during the last ten days of Ramadan, revealing a community holding onto its Islamic faith while they struggle for acceptance in post 9/11 America.

The newspaper area has been relocated to the second floor, just north of the ARC-New shelves. Patrons can find the area by exiting the stairwell through the south doors and turning right. The newspapers are at the end of the hall.
