Last Thursday would have been Bob Oakley's 63rd birthday. Today, we are
pleased to announce a symposium dedicated to his memory.
Immediately preceding the 2009 AALL Annual Meeting, on Saturday, July
25, the Georgetown Law Library will be holding The Future of Today's
Legal Scholarship (FTLS), a Symposium in Honor of Bob Oakley, which will
build upon the fundamental assumption that blogs are an integral part of
today's legal scholarship.
This symposium will bring together academic bloggers, librarians, and
experts in preservation to brainstorm and debate the great challenges
presented for future researchers of materials currently populating the
blogosphere. These challenges include unreliable materials,
disappearing scholarship and documents, and the proliferation of online
legal scholarship. Symposium participants will collectively develop
innovative practices to ensure that valuable scholarship is not easily
lost.
Join the conversation now by tagging items you think are relevant to
this symposium with the del.icio.us tag FTLS2009.
Details about the symposium and a complete list of all FTLS2009 tagged
items can be found at http://www.ll.georgetown.edu/ftls/.
