Subject: Library 2.0 Symposium at Yale Law School

Library 2.0 Symposium to Explore the Future of Digital 
Collections

The Yale Information Society Project will host the Library 2.0 
Symposium on Saturday, April 4, 2009, at Yale Law School. The 
confluence of book digitization projects, user-generated content, 
and social networking applications is forcing us to rethink the 
role of libraries.  This symposium will bring together leading 
thinkers from libraries, academia, and legal practice to lay out 
a vision for the future of the library and digital collections; 
the ethical implications of Library 2.0, including data retention 
and patron privacy; intellectual property rights in 
user-generated and traditional digital library content; and the 
future of book digitization projects.

Featured speakers will include Ann Wolpert, head of MIT libraries 
and the MIT press; John Palfrey, Professor of Law and Dean for 
Library and Information Resources at Harvard Law School; Josh 
Greenberg of the New York Public Library; Jeff Cunard of 
Debevoise and Plimpton; and a host of other luminaries.

The Library 2.0 Symposium will take place in Room 127 of Yale Law 
School located at 127 Wall Street, New Haven, Connecticut. This 
event is free and open to the public but is expected to fill up 
quickly. Please register at your earliest convenience at
