R.A.R.I.N. LIST SERVE INFORMATION
Below are various listserves where rights and reproduction issues are discussed. Instructions for joining are included for those that are 'open' lists.
Museum IP group (musip) A forum for the exchange of information between museum professionals working with issues in intellectual property. The participants in the group represent a range of museum staff from photographic services to registration departments (and anything in between) -- all with a shared interest in the day-to-day operations of rights and reproductions and larger intellectual property issues. Discussions occasionally arise about philosophical points, but postings are usually single questions about specific situations.
