== Library 2.0 Symposium at Yale Law School ==

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.
