| | Ownership of Lectures |
 | | Although commercial notetaking in University lectures is not new, new companies that post class notes to the Internet making them available worldwide, sometimes for free, have caught the attention of faculty members and administrators as well as their intended audience, students. |
 | | It seems apparent that the grand scale on which some companies propose to operate, thus affecting large numbers of faculty members and their institutions nationwide, and worldwide distribution of faculty members' lectures without their permission, may misrepresent or even affect the content of lectures. |
 | | On the other hand, faculty who are paid by notetaking services to provide their own notes may have to address institutional concerns about conflict of interest or commitment. |
