An Interview with ALA's Rick Weingarten

Created by Matt Pasiewicz (EDUCAUSE) on December 09, 2005
In this 32 minute recording, I join Rick Weingarten, Director of the ALA's Office of IT Policy, for a look inside the beltway.  Join us as he shares a brief bit of background about the American Library Association and a fairly interesting discussion about privacy, the google print litigation, and internet governance.

Also of interest could be ACRL's blog entry noting a number of higher ed associations have released a guide to copyright. Oh, and don't forget resources from our own policy office ;)

Higher Education and the Knowledge Economy

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Higher Education and the Knowledge Economy (ID: EDU05027)
Author(s):James Hilton (University of Virginia)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/19/2005)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Although the knowledge economy should be good news for higher education, colleges and universities now confront a variety of technical, legal, and cultural forces that threaten to relegate them to the periphery, including aggressive copyright laws that inhibit interoperability and the free exchange of information. Fortunately, open source software, mass digitization projects, and the emerging cyberinfrastructure offer an opportunity to redefine the university on a scale not seen since the emergence of the research university.
