In November 2008 OITP hosted a conference in Washington, D.C. titled *"Cultural
Heritage and Living Culture: Defining The U.S. Library Position on Access
and Protection of Traditional Cultural Expression."* The objectives of the
conference included the following:

   - To clarify and record the key issues for libraries that collect,
   provide access to, and preserve traditional cultural expression;


   - To recognize that due to the unique nature of TCE and their link to
   cultural identity, typical models of protection and management of creative
   works may be ill suited;


   - To stimulate the necessary awareness in the U.S. library community; and



   - To help frame positions to represent the U.S. library community and the
   public interest in WIPO debates

Check out the conference Web site <http://www.wo.ala.org/tce>, and explore
the resources <http://wo.ala.org/tce/resources/> section to find
videorecordings of many of the sessions.
