Building on the successful series of meetings conducted in 1997/98, the National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage (NINCH), in collaboration with the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), held a "town meeting" on copyright and fair use under the theme "Copyright and the Cultural Community." The event took place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and had as its focus distance education and  issues of access to intellectual property, ownership, digital distribution of teaching and learning materials, and current and proposed legislation affecting these areas. The meeting was intended to open a dialogue among faculty members, administrators, librarians, publishers, information technologists, and others on matters critical to the future of higher education. James Boyle, professor of law at American University, and Peggy E. Hoon, Scholarly Communication Librarian at North Carolina State University, facilitated exploration of the issues. Senior Library Administrators from TRLN institutions and the Chair of the TRLN Council of Library Directors conducted a role play providing perspectives of various stakeholders in the scholarly communication arena.
