25Georgetown Law Library Hosts Conference on the The Future of Today's Scholarship

Today the Georgetown Law Library is hosting a symposium entitled "The Future of Today's Scholarship: A Symposium in Honor of Bob Oakley."

Starting from the position that blogs can be a form of legal scholarship, the symposium brings together academic bloggers, law librarians, and experts in preservation to discuss how to prioritize, collect, archive, preserve, and ensure reliable long-term access to legal information on blogs.

The symposium will end this afternoon with a working group break-out session in which the participants will create a statement of best practice for:

• bloggers posting reliable legal information,
• researchers using blogs, and 
• librarians and bloggers alike working to preserve blogs.
