Brewster Kahle Public Lectures At Berkeley March 2
and 3,
For CNI-announce readers in the Bay Area, Brewster Kahle will be
giving two featured lectures next week. These should be fabulous. I
don't know whether these will be streamed.

Right to
Remember
Brewster Kahle, Founder of the Internet Archive
Regents Lecture
March 2
7:30 - 9:00 PM
310 Banatao Auitorium, Sutardja Dai Hall, UC Berkeley
Brewster Kahle is the founder of the Internet
Archive, a non-profit digital library that preserves and provides free
access to cultural artifacts. Through the Internet Archive, Kahle has
spearheaded efforts to "copy" audio, visual, and book collections,
as well as the internet itself, creating a repository of human
existence. The Internet Archive is now one of the largest libraries in
the world, preserving 20 petabytes of data, and working with more than
400 library and university partners, including the Smithsonian and the
Library of Congress.
As cultural materials are increasingly erased and
eroded over time, the Internet Archive champions our right to
remember: to investigate and learn from past human experience.

Library of the Future
March 3
4:30 - 5:30 PM
Morrison Library, UC Berkeley
Who is responsible for protecting our cultural
memory? Who should pay to maintain these records? And how can we
ensure that the artifacts we've preserved do not vanish into
obscurity?
Join us as the new University Librarian Jeffrey MacKie-Mason
investigates the role and future of the modern library with Brewster
Kahle, founder of the Internet Archive. How should we preserve our
legacy in the digital world for generations to come?
