ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to express my enormous thanks to all the individuals
and groups who helped to make this symposium a reality.
My thanks go to the institutions and departments that provided
various kinds of support to enable this symposium, including the
Robert W. Woodruff Library which provided the overall framework
of support for the conference, the Emory Law School which
provided the facilities for the event, and the divisions of Emory
University which provided financial support, including the Emory
Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts, American Studies, and the
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science.
I would like to thank all of the contributors to these proceedings for
their input to the intellectual substance of this symposium. I would
also like to thank all of them for their ongoing contributions to the
causes of free culture and digital libraries. My thanks also go to the
symposium presenters who were unable to contribute a paper,
especially Dr. Lawrence Lessig; their contributions to the
symposium were also key to making it a high quality event.
I would like to thank all of the scholars who participated (gratis) in
the peer review of submissions to the symposium. The quality
control and substantial feedback to contributors that these peer
reviewers provided were critical to the success of the symposium.
I am grateful to Linda Matthews, Emory Vice Provost and Director
of Libraries, who gave us permission to pursue this event and also
provided so much guidance and financial support.
Finally, I would like to extend special thanks to the particular staff
members of the MetaScholar Initiative who focused so much of
their energy for so many months to make this symposium happen. I
am privileged to lead this premier group of young Turks, who are
each brilliant in their respective areas of technology and cultural
studies. MetaScholar is Emory's ongoing initiative for digital
library and e-scholarship projects. Key to making this symposium
happen were Katherine Skinner, Sarah Toton, Paul O'Grady, and
Liz Milewicz, who all worked in many capacities. My greatest
thanks go to our copy editor and general symposium heroine Carrie
Finegan, who carried all the details of this symposium forward for a
full year, and who was the lynchpin in the whole endeavor.
