Basics of copyright for free

 

Most people don't knowingly violate copyright law, they are simply unaware of their copyright responsibilities. To help increase awareness, CCC has created a FREE video that provides the basics of copyright in a fun and informative way.
In less than 7 minutes, Jim T. Librarian explains why copyright is important, what is and isn’t covered under U.S. copyright law, and why attribution isn’t always enough.

Wolfram Alpha—Semantic Search Is Born

  Search engines still matter, but Wolfram Alpha (www.wolframalpha.com) hopes to shift us toward a "finding engine" that uses Web 3.0 principles to deliver information from natural language queries. Wolfram Alpha is the latest big project from Wolfram Research, Inc. Marketed as a computational knowledge engine, it boils down to being a really smart way to access most of the best reference shelves on the planet. Screen shots from the demo show an easy and intuitive interface that converts queries such as "weather oakland" into current and historical weather data for Oakland, Calif.
