Opening Addresses
by Lea Shaver | April 4, 2009 | Workshops & Symposia | 5 Comments
The Library 2.0 Symposium kicked off this morning with opening addresses from Jack Balkin, Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment, and Laura DeNardis, Executive Director of the Information Society Project at Yale Law School… including an appropriately 2.0 media mash-up.
Jack Balkin: This is the 12th year of the Information Society Project. How did we decide to do a conference on Libraries 2.0? We do work on access to knowledge, civil liberties online, digital education, privacy. And every time we study one of these questions, we’re brought back to the group of issues involving libraries and archives. Thanks to the Reubhausen Fund at Yale Law School we were able to bring you here today.
Laura DeNardis: In lieu of opening remarks, I hope you enjoy this video montage…

Entertaining, thoughtful, but not even credits? As an artist I find that objectionable.

“Begs the question” is wrong. Raises, poses, demands, perhaps.
