University: Knowledge Beyond Authority - The Berkman Center's Internet & 
Society Conference 2007
June 1, 2007
Ames Courtroom and Pound Hall, Harvard Law School Campus

Through working groups and discussion, the Internet & Society Conference 
is positioned to generate questions, insight and solutions from diverse 
perspectives across the University with a focus on the role of University 
as an institution. We seek to establish University as a collective force 
much like 'Government' or 'Private Enterprise' in its ability to negotiate 
and compromise for our needs in the digital environment.

We will ask how University should relate to the world of intellectual 
property with respect to what we use and what we produce, and how 
interconnected the "library" of University should be. We will consider how 
the corporate worlds of search and content might thrive by supporting 
networked Universities. We will collaboratively take on the quest for new 
forms of compatible efficiency to unleash the generative force of 
universities in the Net. Working groups include 'University and its 
Library,' 'University Agenda for Fair Use,' 'Connecting University and 
Localized Curricula,' 'Open Access at University - OpenCourseWare and 
Beyond,' and 'Alternative University Models for Scholarly Publications.'  
Conference speakers and working group leaders include David Weinberger, 
jessamyn west, Nicholas Negroponte, Peter Suber and others. 

Registration is open to all. Please join us in declaring University in 
cyberspace.
