Wanderings of a Librarian

Universal access to knowledge

I don't remember seeing anything on the library blogs and list servers about Brewster Kahle's talk at the Libary of Congress on December 13th. Then again, I was writing final papers at that time, so I might have just missed it. Anyway, CSPAN has the video on their website and I watched it last night. He talked about universal access to knowledge--and he meant everything. Very inspiring.

Brewster Kahle is the imagination behind the Internet Archive, including the Wayback Machine. The Wayback Machine is mentioned now and then on the government documents list server because it's helpful to compare what the government has up on web sites now compared to before September 11 or compared to the Clinton administration.
