For Higher Ed institutions the digital era has opened avenues to research and scholarship previously unavailable at such pace and volume. It has also brought into focus issues regarding copyright, intellectual property, plagiarism, information literacy, infringement and other topics to which educators must be concerned and accountable.

The New Jersey statewide symposium – Steering a Course Through the Copyright Morass – is an open forum for educators to learn, discuss and take action on copyright issues. Its purpose is to provide basic information, discussion, and dialogue among the colleges and universities in New Jersey. NJEDge will set up video-conferencing accessibility at key locations.
