John Palfrey | Bibliotech: Why Libraries Matter More than Ever in the Age of Google
John Palfrey is a leading scholar on the legal issues of emerging media and an authority and advocate for internet freedom, transparency, and accountability. His many books include Born Digital, Access Denied, and Intellectual Property Strategy. He is the Head of School at Philips Academy and director of the Data + Society Research Institute. A former venture capital executive, corporate lawyer, and Harvard Law School professor, Palfrey regularly contributes commentary to CNN, NPR, and the BBC, among many other news outlets. Bibliotech argues for the necessity of understanding how to find and use the seemingly infinite reservoirs of online information, as well as the adaptive role of libraries in teaching these skills.
