    There’s an App for That! 

    Libraries, Mobile, Policy:  A report back and response 

     

    2010 ALA Annual Conference – Washington, D.C.

    June 27 1:30 - 3:30pm, Convention Center 145B

     

    The information revolution has reached our pockets, and as this mobile transformation continues to unfold, libraries will experiment with tools to support the information needs of their users, wherever they are. Mobile tech and services can alter some of the relationships between libraries and their users, and introduces novel challenges to reader privacy. Simultaneously, the proliferation of mobile devices and services reiterates standing concerns of access to information in the digital age, including content ownership and licensing, digital rights management, and accessibility.

     

    With the release of the policy brief There’s an App for That! Libraries and Mobile: An Introduction to Public Policy Considerations, OITP will present on its research, and invite members of the library and policy communities to respond to its findings and recommendations. Panelists will include Timothy Vollmer, Consultant to OITP and Open Policy Fellow at Creative Commons; Cody Hanson, Technology Librarian at the University of Minnesota; and Sherwin Siy, Deputy Legal Director at Washington, D.C.-based public interest group Public Knowledge. Copies of this new policy brief will be distributed at the session.
