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 ;)

In this 33 minute recording, I sit down with Brewster Kahle, Digital Librarian, Director and Co-Founder of the Internet Archive.  We'll talk about the Open Content Alliance, the Internet Archive's Scribe book scanning technology, and much more.

If you haven't listened to the ITConversations podcast of Brewster entitled Universal Access to All Knowledge, I'd definitely recommend it!  It was recorded almost one year ago to the date, but it remains very, very interesting.  

Bryan Alexander covered Brewster's presence at the event here and here.
