See you in DC!

By Georgia Harper

Last year I was not able to attend the CIP's annual conference, but I've caught quite a few of them over the years. This one is special for me, however, because as the Center's Virtual Scholar, I have had the honor of participating in the planning. Kim Bonner, the Center's Executive Director, is at the helm of the planning process and has put together a great lineup of events and speakers. At the top of the list is Jamie Boyle, Duke law professor and advocate of the public domain. I am looking forward to meeting him and hearing what he has to say. I, too, am speaking at the conference. I plan to discuss an idea I am working on as a possible dissertation topic that fits well with this year's CIP theme: Copyright Monopoly. The lineup is widely diverse, including speakers representing content industries (Copyright Alliance, CCC), law professors and practicing lawyers, librarians and lawyer librarians, and intermediaries like OCLC and Google, among others. The conference also features a new format for day three -- a series of roundtable discussion groups focused on what you can take back home with you to put what you have learned into practice. Hope to see you there!
