UCITA: A Guide to Understanding and Action

UCITA: A Guide to Understanding and Action was a live satellite teleconference sponsored by The American Association of Law Libraries, The American Library Association, The Association of Research Libraries, The Medical Library Association, and the Special Libraries Association. The program was broadcast on December 13, 2000, at over 200 sites in the United States and Canada.

The teleconference focused on UCITA (The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act), a proposed state law that seeks to create a unified approach to the licensing of software and information. Panelists explained the provisions of UCITA and how it poses serious problems for libraries and educational institutions. They also explored how to address UCITA as it moves through state legislatures. Further information on UCITA's mission to create uniform national standards governing electronic information can be found on the Association of Research Libraries website at http://www.arl.org/ucita.html.
