Future of Today's Legal Scholarship (FTLS), a Symposium in Honor of Bob
Oakley, is open.
FTLS will be held immediately preceding the 2009 AALL Annual Meeting, on
Saturday, July 25, at Georgetown Law. That's just twelve weeks from
now! 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.
Confirmed speakers include:
* Bob Berring, Walter Perry Johnson Professor of Law, UC Berkeley,
Boalt Hall
* Chris Borgen, Associate Professor of Law, St. John's University
* Lee Peoples, Associate Professor of Law Library Science, Associate Law
Library Director, and Director of International Programs, Oklahoma City
