  • TyAnna Herrington offers specific details about legal issues articulated for online environments;
  • Jeffrey Galin and Joan Latchaw propose a change in the nature of ownership of disciplinary knowledge;
  • David Porush considers questions of plagiarism and fair use;
  • "The (In)Citers" offer "The Citation Functions: Literary Production and Reception," a response to the open invitation to the CCCC-IP Caucus.
