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.

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