Elizabeth Townsend 2005-02-21
Elizabeth Townsend gave a talk on Assessing the Arrival of the Unpublished Public Domain in the Internet Age. You can listen to Elizabeth's talk here.
Summary: The talk looked at how the Internet is impacting research and writing in an academic setting, with particular attention paid the newly created unpublished public domain. It asks the question of how the digital archiving projects and e-books projects connect to or impact on the development of the unpublished public domain. What should scholars know when working with archival and manuscript sources that are now found on the Internet? What kind of advocacy or awareness is needed to keep open the spaces of knowledge that scholars use?
