*Lecture: A Perspective on Intellectual Property, 12/11/02
Thomson ISI Samuel Lazerow Memorial Lecture:
Libraries, Civil Society, and the Information Commons:
A Perspective on Intellectual Property
Wednesday, December 11, 2002
2:30 - 4:00 pm
Indiana University, Bloomington
Room #033 Main Library (Auditorium)
Reception follows
By Nancy Kranich
Past President of the American Library Association
How can we reframe the debate about access to information and the need for democratic discourse in the digital age?
In a time of information abundance, librarians and other public interest groups must advocate daily to ensure the free flow of ideas. Nevertheless, citizens' rights such as fair use, equitable access, and freedom of information totter on the verge of extinction as the free flow of ideas is curtailed by the demands of the marketplace. Copyright and civil society scholars have adopted the metaphor of the commons in discussing an architecture of democratic culture as an approach to reclaiming the public's information assets. Librarians have joined forces with these opinion leaders to reassert the public interest into the discourse about information access. As stewards of the public's information assets, librarians can use the metaphor of the commons to stake a new claim for the free and open exchange of ideas in order to ensure the survival of our digital-age democracy.
