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 ;)

Joan Lippincott's comments about the growing need for interaction between librarians and instructional technologies, dovetail nicely with this interview conducted by Allan Carrington about the unique role of a Instructional Design Librarian at Penn State University.

Joan Lippincott, Associate Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), joined me for an interview to supplement our recent focus session on informal learning spaces. Joan has held positions in a number of libraries, so I wanted to get her views about the role of libraries and information commons as informal learning spaces. I also asked Joan to explore how we might adjust these spaces to take advantage of what we know about students and how they learn.
