Standing Up for the Library Mission: Access, Law, and Resistance in an Age of Control
Abstract
As restrictive licensing, and privatization reshape our digital world, the library mission, to provide preservation and access to knowledge, has never been more urgent. In this keynote, Kyle K. Courtney will explore how the intertwined forces of copyright, licensing, and information control shape what we can know, and who gets to decide. Librarians must reclaim their role as defenders of access, privacy, and intellectual freedom, standing up for knowledge with courage, creativity, and conviction.
