BayNet Annual Meeting
Wednesday, May 22, 2002, 9:00 - 11:30 a.m.
Featuring Howard Besser, Associate Professor at UCLA's School of Education
and Information Studies, speaking on "The Case for an Information Commons:
Responses to the Current Copyright Environment."
Besser will discuss major efforts underway by library and public interest
organizations to change the public discussion around copyright from one
that marginalizes librarians to one that puts librarians at center stage,
as custodians of our information heritage.
Howard Besser is an expert on image and multimedia databases, the social
and cultural effects of information technology, digital library issues
(particularly around standards, longevity, and intellectual property), and
the development of new ways to teach with technology, including web-based
instruction and distance learning.
This FREE event will be held at the World Affairs Council, 312 Sutter
Street (near Grant), San Francisco. Parking is available at the Stockton
Street Garage. It is a short walk from BART's Powell Street Station.
Please RSVP to Richard Geiger, Research Director, San Francisco Chronicle
Library, rgeiger@sfchronicle.com or 415-777-6001.
