Open access to scholarly literature is currently a hot topic among 
librarians, publishers, and scholars alike.  But what is open access?  
Does it mean that scholarly information should be "free" or is there
more 
to it than that? What benefits and drawbacks does it offer each of the 
major stakeholders in the scholarly communication process?  Please join
us 
for a stimulating dialogue on this complex issue featuring five
outstanding 
speakers.

Speakers:

Lawrence Lessig, Founder, The Creative Commons Movement 
Arie Jongejan, CEO, Science and Technology Division, Elsevier 
Betsy Wilson, Director of Libraries, University of Washington
