By Brian Wm. Higgin

• Univ. of Maryland University Center's Center for Intellectual Property announces its 2008-2009 asynchronous online workshop series. Courses include "Copyright Law and Integrated Access to Digital Course Materials," "Section 108," and "Fair Use and Balance in Copyright: The Best Practices Model," among others.
   
• KROLL's Global Fraud Report, release earlier this week, concludes that the average company loss due to fraud increased by 22%, based on input from 890 senior executives worldwide. The fastest growing type of fraud was information theft (27%: up from 22%), which KROLL attributes to, among other things, high staff turnover or weak internal controls.
