Work, Technology to Converge at InfoTrends 2021
SLA
When SLA debuted InfoTrends in June 2020, hopes that the COVID-19 virus would prove temporary—much like the seasonal flu—still flickered, and the audience was keen to hear about skills and resources they could put to work immediately. Now, with the pandemic still exerting its grip but vaccination efforts making headway, attention is focusing on what the post-COVID landscape will look like and how special librarians and information professionals can best position themselves to thrive in that environment.

Why Open Access Is a Game Changer
Inside Higher Ed
The lightning-fast COVID-19 vaccination effort has been a major source of hope and relief during a harrowing time. And it was made possible by a revolutionary way of doing science.
During the health crisis, information has ping-ponged around the globe, quickly giving rise to important developments such as diagnostic testing and RNA-based vaccines. Underlying this massive wave of information sharing is open access: the simple but powerful idea that knowledge should be free for everyone, always.

Supreme Court Grants a Big Win for Copyright Fair Use
International Policy Digest
In what may be the most consequential copyright case in a generation, in Google LLC v. Oracle America, Inc., the Supreme Court ruled that Google’s use of Oracle-owned software was fair use. This decision ended a decade-plus long legal dispute. A loss would have meant billions to Google, and more broadly, a serious curtailment of the fair use defense for everyone.

New Journal Will Allow Academics to Write Under Pseudonyms
The Conversation
In the 1840s, a series of strange books started to appear in Copenhagen. The books were credited to outlandish pseudonyms: Victor Eremita, Hilarious Bookbinder, Vigilius Haufniensis and more.
The author of these books was a theology graduate named Søren Kierkegaard. He wasn’t using pseudonyms to hide his authorship, however, but to make a point about what it is to truly inhabit a view of life.

It's Time for Open Educational Resources
Inside Higher Ed
Increasingly, higher education is less about memorization and more about problem solving. In years gone by, access to facts and viewpoints often involved the purchase or acquisition of books. Huge personal libraries were assembled by the well-educated wealthy in prior centuries. Now we all have access to the immense electronic library that we call the internet.

Archiving the White House's Electronic Records
FedTech Magazine
When a U.S. president left office 40 years ago, archival teams swept in to gather almost every piece of paper, picture, audio or video tape that the president and his staff had generated.
They carried boxes of these official documents from the White House to the National Archives and Records Administration, which stores and makes them accessible to the public in perpetuity.
