*A SYMPOSIUM BY:*
* I/S: A JOURNAL OF LAW AND POLICY FOR THE INFORMATION SOCIETY*



Because people so often identify libraries with physical books, new digital
information and communication technologies have spawned speculation whether
these institutions are obsolete. Libraries, however, predate books, and, in
their modern form, libraries of all kinds – public libraries, research
libraries, school libraries, professional libraries – still typically stand
at the informational heart of the communities they serve.

Join us March 24-25, 2016, on The Ohio State University campus for “The
Future of Libraries in the Digital Age,” an interdisciplinary exploration
of the emerging roles of libraries, as well as the roles of law and public
policy in shaping libraries’ missions.

On Thursday night a panel of local librarians will discuss the challenges
their institutions face, in conversation with Jeffrey T. Schnapp, professor
of romance languages and literature and comparative literature at Harvard
University, and a member of the teaching faculty in the Department of
Architecture at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. Professor Schnapp has
been deeply involved in researching the history of libraries and in
imagining the implications of libraries’ new roles for the design of
libraries as physical space.

On Friday, expert panelists will discuss the roles of libraries, the
possible consequences of digitization for privacy and copyright, and the
overall question of whether or not there is a future for bricks-and-mortar
libraries. Professor Schnapp will offer keynote remarks, as well as present
two short films: Alain Resnais’s famous portrait of the Bibliotheque
Nationale de France, “Toute la mémoire du monde” (1956), and “Cold
Storage,” a web documentary Professor Schnapp helped to create, which
offers a rumination on the state of libraries a half century after Resnais.
