John Palfrey to Speak in 2011 Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture



John Palfrey is the Henry N. Ess III Professor of Law, vice dean for  
library and information resources, as well as a faculty co-director of  
the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School.    
He is the co-author of “Born Digital: Understanding the First  
Generation of Digital Natives” (Basic Books, 2008) and “Access Denied:  
The Practice and Politics of Internet Filtering” (MIT Press, 2008).    
Palfrey will speak in the Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture Series  
during the 2011 annual convention of the International Communication  
Association (ICA), on Sunday, May 29, 2011, 4:30 – 5:45 pm, in Westin  
Waterfront Hotel, Boston, Massachusetts.



Palfrey’s lecture is entitled, “Internet Research and a Future for  
Libraries.”  Palfrey will address the striking fear of many academics

Palfrey will make the case for a bright future for libraries and for  
research in an Internet age.
