Digital Dilemmas is a full-day
symposium that brings together nationally recognized experts who will
outline the primary challenges facing libraries in a digital world;
provide an understanding of the digital information economy and its
effect on scholarship; and suggest future opportunities for
libraries.
The symposium, which is hosted by
METRO and sponsored in part by OCLC, will provide librarians and
library administrators with the opportunity to learn from leaders in
the field and network with colleagues from the region working to
address these challenges and seize potential
opportunities.
Presenters include Clifford Lynch (Director, Coalition for Networked
Information), Evan Owens (Chief Technology Officer,
Portico), Roger Schonfeld (Research Manager, Ithaka),
Patricia Aufderheide (Director, Center for Social Media, American
University), and Dan Cohen (Director, Center for History and
New Media, George Mason University).
