Introduction to Digital Rights for Library Workers
Content
Online/Virtual Event
Thursday, February 2nd from 12:00pm
to 1:30pm
Save the date of Thursday, February 2 at noon for presentations and a discussion about our rights to access, create, and publish information here in this era of networked technologies.
This event features academics and practitioners who are digging into thorny questions like: How as a society might we balance copyright protections with free and equal access to information? Where does our individual right to privacy end and the public’s right to know begin? What is needed to reify and further the mission of providing equitable access to digital infrastructure? How might we utilize this infrastructure to the benefit of our communities?
60-ish minutes of presentations will be followed by a 30-minute forum. Please come through to listen, find community, and participate in this necessary conversation.
This event is a co-production between METRO Library Council and Library Futures. Learn more about Library Futures at https://www.libraryfutures.net.
