 “How the Internet is Changing Publishing”

Bob Young is founder and CEO of Lulu.com, an online marketplace for digital content and the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books headquartered in Morrisville, NC, just west of Raleigh. Lulu.com is a web site that allows authors, educators, artists, musicians, businesses and others to publish their own books, images, multimedia and music and sell them to the world; all without surrendering either ownership or control.

Lulu is the latest innovative business started by Young, hitherto best-known as a co-founder of Red Hat, the open source software company that he helped turn into a household name and chief rival to Microsoft and Sun. His success at Red Hat won him many accolades, including the nomination as one of Business Week Magazine’s "Top Entrepreneurs” in 1999 and the reputation in some circles as ‘the antidote to Bill Gates’.

Young believes that Lulu, with a little help from the Internet and the latest print-on-demand technology, is revolutionizing the publishing industry in the same way that Red Hat and open source revolutionized the software industry; and is doing so by the same process of putting the consumer in control.

1 A: What's Cookin' in Library School? Hannover I

Time-travel with a library school dean to visit the past, present, and future of librarianship education.  Dean Griffith will take us back a generation and describe what was taught in library schools at the beginning of the digital revolution, share with us what today's library school students are learning, and then use her crystal ball to predict what skills the next generation of librarians will need, what library schools will teach students in 2020, and generally, the future of librarianship education.

Speakers: Jose-Marie Griffiths, Dean, Univ. of North Carolina School of Information and Library Science

Moderator and Coordinator: Jim Heller, Director of the Law Library and Professor of Law, The College of William & Mary

1 B: From the Front Lines: Enforcing Internet Use Policies Hannover II

What questions should librarians think about when they are faced with enforcing an Internet use policy? What are the competing interests at play? Are the considerations different in different types of law libraries? We may not answer all the questions, but we hope to raise some issues you need to be thinking about before you are called upon to take action.

Speakers:

Scott Childs, Assistant Director for Public Services and Assistant Clinical Professor of Law, Kathrine R. Everett Law Library, Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

1 C: Strategic Planning for Diversity Hannover III

You have attended diversity seminars and you have followed and implemented proper hiring policies and procedures to build a diverse workforce.  Yet, what is the best way to incorporate diversity as you plan for the future?  To have a cohesive team of employees, it is necessary that the library not only have a strategic plan, but also have diversity as an integral part of the planning process.  Achieving diversity is no longer just a goal of strategic planning.  Diversity must be pervasive in the six step strategic planning process.  In this program attendees will learn that by having diversity at every step in the strategic planning process, the library insures that diversity moves from being just a goal to a fundamental part of library operations. 

Speakers: Grace Mills, Law Library Director and Associate Professor of Law, College of Law Library, Florida A&M University

As the practice of law becomes more diverse and less reliant on print resources, are academic libraries truly preparing students for summer or permanent associate positions in large law firms?

The speakers will report the results of a recent survey that queried technical services librarians and support staff on the big issues facing their departments, processes, training, and staff, and the disconnect that often occurs between the “big ideas” and the detailed and necessary implementation steps to make those ideas a reality.

3 A: Preservation of Legal Materials Born Digital Hannover I
 

Law librarians in academic, private and other law libraries are concerned about losing access to valuable legal information that was created only in digital format. Are efforts underway to collect and preserve as well as provide access to collections of materials that are born digitally? Speakers will discuss the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program led by the Library of Congress and other national efforts at preserving born digital materials, including those of the AALL, Congress and government agencies such as the Government Printing Office and National Archives and Records Administration. AALL President Claire Germain, a leader among those addressing this issue, will moderate this program.

3 C: Service to the Public in the Internet Age Hannover II

We've all heard it a thousand times - "Now that we have Google, why do we need all these books?"  Savvy librarians know that we are a long way from the reality of a complete virtual library.  In addition to deciding the fee vs. free vs. print question for our lawyers, judges, faculty and law students, we also must consider how this question affects the lay person.  This program will discuss how the general public uses law libraries and the Internet for legal information.  It will address how much information is on the web, the specific limitations of that information, and the problems of reliance on just that information.   The speakers will discuss how the popular misconception that "everything on the web" has led to loss of funding, particularly of Florida court law libraries.   We will explore the appropriate balance among free web sources, proprietary fee-based databases, and print materials in order to meet the needs of all of our patrons. 

Speakers:

Merrill Chertok, Law Librarian, Alexandria Law Library, Alexandria, Virginia

Jean Holcomb, formerly of King County Law Library in Seattle, Washington and The University of Alabama Law Library

Mary McCormick, Head of Public Services, Florida State University College of Law Library

4 C: Spyware for the Non-Geek  Hannover II
 
Spyware (also known as Adware and Malware) is programming installed on a computer to secretly gather information. Frequently these programs are scripts or cookies installed surreptitiously when a person downloads free programs. Spyware can gather information about a user's Internet and computer use which is then sold to advertisers and vendors. In addition to the obvious invasion of privacy, spyware can significantly decrease computer performance and cause browser problems. Learn what Spyware is, how to protect your computer against it, and some of the ways to clean it off of your computer after becoming infected. We will also look at some of the free programs available on the Internet to protect against and remove Spyware.

How can we reach out to law students after they complete their structured legal research and writing courses?
