Podcast appearances and mentions of John Palfrey

What happens when a major foundation president decides to speak out boldly during a crisis? How can philanthropy surge resources to protect nonprofit workers facing unprecedented job losses? In this season finale of the Fund the People Podcast, host Rusty Stahl sits down with John Palfrey, President of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, to explore how courage becomes contagious in times of sector-wide attacks. You'll discover the real math behind foundation payout increases, learn why one foundation moved from 5% to 6% giving (adding $150 million over two years), and understand the strategic thinking behind multi-year general operating support.Palfrey shares the behind-the-scenes story of how MacArthur Foundation responded to federal cuts targeting nonprofits—from increasing their payout rate to joining solidarity campaigns that have gathered nearly 700 institutional signatures. He offers frank "real talk" about the trade-offs of long-term funding, explains why he believes in the constitutional "freedom to give," and discusses how foundations calculated that nonprofit grantees lost about 12% of their federal funding. This conversation reveals both the possibilities and limitations of philanthropic response during crisis.As attacks on nonprofits continue through 2025, this episode provides essential insights for anyone working in or with the social sector. Whether you're a nonprofit leader wondering how to navigate funding relationships, a foundation professional considering how to increase impact, or simply someone who believes in the power of organized giving, you'll gain practical knowledge about how major philanthropy is adapting to meet this unprecedented moment—and why taking summer breaks might be the most important advice of all.Funding for Real Change - fundingforrealchange.com (true cost initiative tools)Season 5, Episode 7: "The Great Double Standard" (Rusty's rant about foundation overhead policies)Season 4, Episode 10: “MacArthur Foundation Makes Changes to End Nonprofit Starvation Cycle – with Kenneth Jones, MacArthur Foundation” interview about MacArthur's indirect cost policy Season 7, Episode 17: “Meet the Moment: A Call to Action for Funders – with Shaady Salehi, Trust-Based Philanthropy Project”Season 7, Episode 1: “Do Funders Understand the Nonprofit Burnout Crisis? – with Elisha Smith Arrillaga, CEP” on the 2024 State of NonprofitsHR 9495 - "The Big, Bloated Bill" (link to Congress.gov full text)Center for Effective Philanthropy “State of Nonprofits 2025: What Funders Need to Know” John Palfrey's guest post on CEP blog “Courage in Unity: A Funder's Response to the ‘State of Nonprofits'” (June 3, 2025 response to the report)Council on Foundations public solidarity sign-on campaign - (694+ institutional signatures supporting philanthropy's freedom to give)"Meet the Moment" commitment - Trust-based philanthropy pledge (nearly 200 institutional signatures)The Courage Project - Coalition of nonprofits and foundations launched May 2025BioJohn Palfrey is President of the John D. and Catherine T.

When Data & Society was founded ten years ago, it was rooted in the insight that data-centric technologies have broad and often unseen impacts on society — and that to better understand those impacts and realize technologies that reflect our highest values, we need interdisciplinary, empirical research.Today, the urgency of that vision is palpable: How societies choose to design and govern technology will determine our collective future. On September 26, we celebrated our first decade with our incredible network of alumni, friends, and supporters. Along with reflections from Data & Society Executive Director Janet Haven, Board President Charlton McIlwain, and Founder danah boyd, the program included a panel discussion and lightning talks.00:00 Opening00:10 Welcome | Charlton McIlwain, Board President08:23 Creating a Field | danah boyd, Founder19:37 Lightning Talk: Xiaowei R.

In this episode, Chris Gondek interviews author John Palfrey about how diversity and free expression can coexist on a modern campus. Safe spaces, trigger warnings, microaggressions, the disinvitation of speakers, demands to rename campus landmarks—debate over these issues began in lecture halls and on college quads but ended up on op-ed pages in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, on cable news, and on social media. Some of these critiques had merit, but others took a series of cheap shots at “crybullies” who needed to be coddled and protected from the real world. Few questioned the assumption that colleges must choose between free expression and diversity. In Safe Spaces, Brave Spaces, John Palfrey argues that the essential democratic values of diversity and free expression can, and should, coexist on campus. Palfrey, currently Head of School at Phillips Academy, Andover, and formerly Professor and Vice Dean at Harvard Law School, writes that free expression and diversity are more compatible than opposed. Free expression can serve everyone—even if it has at times been dominated by white, male, Christian, heterosexual, able-bodied citizens. Diversity is about self-expression, learning from one another, and working together across differences; it can encompass academic freedom without condoning hate speech. Palfrey proposes an innovative way to support both diversity and free expression on campus: creating safe spaces and brave spaces. In safe spaces, students can explore ideas and express themselves with without feeling marginalized. In brave spaces—classrooms, lecture halls, public forums—the search for knowledge is paramount, even if some discussions may make certain students uncomfortable. The strength of our democracy, says Palfrey, depends on a commitment to upholding both diversity and free expression, especially when it is hardest to do so. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Stuart N. Brotman and John Palfrey discuss Brotman's new book The First Amendment Lives On, a collection of conversations with free speech scholars and advocates. This conversation originally took place November 7th, 2022 at the American Writers Museum and was recorded live. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME More about The First Amendment Lives On: Hugh M. Hefner's legacy of enduring free speech and free press values is embodied in the Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Awards, established in 1979, which honor leading First Amendment scholars and advocates. Hefner also had a lifelong interest in film censorship issues and supported teaching about them at the University of Southern California for 20 years. His deep commitment to these values was confirmed when the author was granted unrestricted access to over 3,000 personal scrapbooks, which Hefner had kept in order to track free speech and press issues during his lifetime. The format of the book is an homage to the in-depth conversational interviews Hefner pioneered as the editor and publisher of Playboy magazine. Stuart Brotman conducted in-person conversations with eight persons who in their lifetimes have come to represent a "greatest generation" of free speech and free press scholars and advocates. Notably, these conversations include Geoffrey R. Stone, Floyd Abrams, Nadine Strossen, Burt Neuborne, David D. Cole, Lucy A. Dalglish, Bob Corn-Revere, and Rick Jewell. STUART N. BROTMAN is an American government policymaker; tenured university professor; management consultant; lawyer; author and editorial adviser; and non-profit organization executive.

Join your host Hermene Hartman as we talk about reparations. Reparations are talked about a lot but what does it mean? Reparations mean payment. In this case, payment was supplied to the descendants of Black Americans who worked for white businesses for centuries as slaves to build this country. Should Black people be compensated for the slave labor their ancestors endured in the past? We talk about it today with our guests Mr Steven Rogers, Author of A Letter to my White Friends and Colleagues: What You Can Do Right Now To Help The Black Community, and Mr John Palfrey, President of the MacArthur Foundation. We kick off our talk with a discussion about how the problems we have in America today between white people and Black people relate primarily to economics; specifically how state and federal governments have done everything they can to enrich white people whilst impoverishing and exploiting Black people. We discuss various examples of this in action, including various rules and laws that are and have been imposed on black people but not white people. We talk about various ways that we could work to resolve these issues including reviewing our education systems and encouraging philanthropy to support black communities. We talk about what reparations could look like & how it could be achieved. Our guests provide a succinct breakdown of the actual numbers that could represent legitimate reparations for the centuries of slavery and opression that black people have endured in America. We discuss previous examples of reparations that have been paid to other communities including how the Jewish community was paid reparations by the German government following the holocaust & how white people were paid reparations following the civil war. Join us as we cover all this and much more on another enlightening episode of the N'DIGO Studio Podcast.  Guests Mr. Steven Rogers Author of A Letter to my White Friends and Colleagues: What You Can Do Right Now To Help The Black Community https://www.stevensrogers.com/ Mr. John Palfrey, President, MacArthur Foundation https://www.macfound.org/ N'DIGO Studio Supported by The Chicago Community Trust MacArthur Foundation The Field Foundation Of Illinois Special Thanks Hyatt Tyronne Stoudemire  Credits Host/Executive Producer Hermene Hartman Technical Producer/Editor Erik Hammond Film Company Clear Vision Multimedia Associate Producer Joi Mitchell Administration Sylvester Cosby Make-Up By Landis Cosmetics Hair Stylist Dr.LaQuaShon Sound Editor Scott Stronach Intro/Outro Music Christian Standring - Is There A Doctor In The House the song is published by Mr.Christian Music (BMI)

In today's episode we will feature an interview with John Palfrey, President of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. This interview is part of the popular "Views from the Penthouse Suite" series and was conducted by Tom Gilson, Associate Editor, Against the Grain, and Ann Okerson, Senior Advisor, Center for Research Libraries.  In this episode, John talks about his keynote presentation at the 2020 Charleston Conference titled "Do Librarians Matter and What Might Matter to Librarians?"   He discusses the need for a digital public infrastructure, and how librarians can play a major role in the development of such an infrastructure.  He says radical collaboration is needed among collection specialists,  and librarians should pool efforts to fund the Digital Public Library of America and help set standards.  He says collective, well coordinated action will give more power to librarians.  John also discusses how librarians can use their well earned position of trust to combat misinformation. John talks with us about his book Bibliotech: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google.  He says a reform of the Copyright Act is needed to make it easier for collection librarians to handle the digital side more effectively.  He also gives his take on what libraries can do to better receive funding and support from large foundations for new ideas or projects.

Justin Reich is joined by John Palfrey, president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, former director of the Berkman Klein Center of Internet and Society, as well as an educator, author, and legal scholar. Together they discuss philanthropy in education, the work of the MacArthur Foundation, and the challenges of making large changes in institutions.“And particularly when we look at a society where I think most of us, anyway, those of us on the left, broadly global left, would say, ‘We're not where we ought to be, right, from an equity perspective, from all sorts of dimensions we want to improve. And certainly the quality of K-12 education in the United States, that's not something we're that good at overall. Therefore, we need to disrupt it. We need to do it better. - John Palfrey In this episode we’ll talk about:What role does philanthropy play in addressing inequality?Thinking about “who is being served?”The natural inclination to give locallySupporting individual leaders to influence the worldLever for Change organizationSmall financial help can facilitate larger financial helpPalfrey’s new book The Connected ParentParenting with technologyBringing equity into educational technology Resources and LinksCheck out The Connected Parent by John Palfrey and Urs Gasser!Learn more about the MacArthur FoundationCheck the MacArthur Foundation’s demographic report!Learn more about Lever for ChangeLearn more about the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and SocietyCheck out Justin Reich’s book, Failure To Disrupt!Join our self-paced online edX course: Sorting Truth from Fiction: Civic Online ReasoningJoin our self-paced online edX course: Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices Transcripthttps://teachlabpodcast.simplecast.com/episodes/john-palfrey/transcript Produced by Aimee Corrigan and Garrett Beazley.

Audio from a keynote of the 2020 Charleston Library Conference, presented by John Palfrey, president of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, who will share his thoughts on the importance of librarians and their work. The question of “Where to from here?” will be on everyone’s mind in the immediate aftermath of both a pandemic and a federal election. Regardless of the outcomes, libraries and librarians will matter. In Palfrey’s book, BiblioTech (Basic Books, 2015), he argued that librarians matter more than ever in a digital age. He will share updated thinking on the moment we live in, the possibilities for librarians, the risks information professionals face in unstable times, and why we all rely so heavily on the institution of the library in communities and on campuses.

John Palfrey: Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives | Steve Hargadon | Feb 26 2009 by Steve Hargadon

Brook Ward guest hosting; guets include Mark Roberts of Tennis BC & John Palfrey of Leith Wheeler.

On this episode of The Open Mind, we're delighted to welcome John Bracken. We've been tracking the progress of the Digital Public Library of America since it's genesis: first with its founding visionaries, Robert Darnton and John Palfrey, then with its inaugural executive director Dan Cohen, and today with its second and current leader, John Bracken. As I described it then, the DPLA is a one-stop portal for primary sources from the nation's archives, libraries and museums, a public option to access the full breadth of human expression and American cultural heritage. DPLA's aspiration is to be a unifying national library and it could be critical to answering that question of how our democracy can function successfully again in the digital age and how the common civic experience of libraries will help us achieve trust anew.

On this episode of The Open Mind, we're delighted to welcome Christopher Painter, commissioner of The Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace. When I recorded my first ever program here in 2014, the subject with digital scholar and educator John Palfrey was the very real possibility of a digital Pearl Harbor or 9/11 in our lifetimes. It's clear from our evaluations on The Open Mind that such a crisis played out during the 2016 campaign, but not as we expected. We lacked the imagination foresight and most of all political will to respond as governments, citizens, and corporations, which often were hosts of malignant disinformation and enablers of massive security breaches. For over two decades, painter has been at the helm of American Internet policy as a prosecutor of high-profile cyber crimes. And then as a senior official at the Department of Justice, FBI, National Security Council, and finally the State Department. In his most recent role as the nation's top cyber diplomat, Painter coordinated and led the diplomatic efforts to advance an open internet and information infrastructure, establishing the office of the coordinator for cyber issues dedicated to advancing the diplomatic aspects of cyber issues ranging from national security to human rights.

Can a campus that values free speech, opposing points of view and vigorous debate simultaneously provide a safe environment for each of its members?  Are the values of tolerance and safety necessarily in conflict with the value of hearing a wide spectrum of opinions?  My guest is John Palfrey, Head of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and author of Safe Spaces, Brave Spaces: Diversity and Free Expression in Education.  We discuss the challenge of cultivating healthy argumentation on campuses, the influence of social media, and how he navigates these concerns with a diverse high school student body.

Ady & Al, for the first show of 2019, welcomed Kay Hutt and John Palfrey to discuss the Everton game, West Ham's tenancy at the Olympic Stadium, and we speculated on Davy Pröpper's first goal for the Albion - whenever that may be. That, and so much more... Phil Shelley's Shirt of the Week is a cow.

Listeners, this is a big deal. My white whale. My strangest stranger yet. The last person I should yell at….John Palfrey! Head of School. Champion of our academic experience. Guy who talks at all school meetings. Only person I know who wears a suit every day. We get into it on this, my final episode of I Yell at Strangers. No don't cry. It will only make it harder. Mr. Palfrey and I talk about contracts, history, and libraries(duh). And it's really just a great time.

In this episode Chris Gondek interviews author John Palfrey about how diversity and free expression can coexist on a modern campus

As Americans loudly hammer out partisan views on the world stage these days, colleges and universities have been drawn into the fray as campuses, with speakers and their mobile-enabled audiences, become venues for audio and video that has a propensity to go viral. What was once considered healthy student debate can easily become a political inferno with a viral international following. Factions have formed, aligning people into either diversity or free speech advocates. This bifurcation is something John Palfrey sees as mistaken. In his new book, Safe Spaces, Brave Spaces published by MIT Press, Palfrey says diversity and free speech share much more than not and argues both are imperative for a modern education and the promise of educating our youth in the American ideal. The former Henry N. Ess III Professor of Law and Vice Dean for Library and Information Resources at Harvard Law School offers clear examples of where the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of both diversity and free expression and he breaks down the trajectory of the past few decades that led to the fanning of these flames by provocateurs and by the emergence of a highly-interconnected world of viral platforms like Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook.

John Palfrey, founding president of the Digital Public Library of America and a director of Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, told the Deseret News that he has “been struck by the number of times people tell [him] that they think libraries are less important than they were before, now that we have the Internet and Google. He says he thinks “just the opposite: Libraries are more important, not less important, and both as physical and virtual entities, than they've been in the past.” We'll revisit our conversation with John Palfrey, author of "BiblioTECH: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google."

John Palfrey, founding president of the Digital Public Library of America and a director of Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, recently told the Deseret News that he has “been struck by the number of times people tell [him] that they think libraries are less important than they were before, now that we have the Internet and Google. He says he thinks “just the opposite: Libraries are more important, not less important, and both as physical and virtual entities, than they've been in the past.” John Palfrey, author of the new book "BiblioTECH: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google," joins Tom Williams to discuss the future of the library on Thursday's Access Utah.

IPN 系列微信群（听众自建）和线下聚会的重要性，新微软新在哪里旧在哪里，Google I/O 上即将发布的神秘可穿戴设备，Apple Watch 究竟是增加还是减少了碎片化现象，Oculus Rift 明年一季度发货，以及 Facebook 关于 filter bubble 现象的研究报告。 每月三十元，支持不鸟万如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。 到目前为止，我们的听众（不一定是会员）已经自发建立了十一个微信群，计有：总群、北京群、长三角群、珠三角群、长沙群、欧洲群、美国东部群，美国西部群，加拿大蒙特利尔群、加拿大多伦多群、日本群。最早的总群系由新浪微博上的会员 @草菅西東 创建，意在为听众组织线下聚会提供便利。到目前为止，虽然群落扩散速度极快，但这个初衷尚未达成。请诸君继续努力。 Tesla 的电池计划，我和 Rio 都不太懂。好在上次有听众写了一封很长的反馈，我们全文念了出来，大家可以听听看。 在我们上期表扬过 Photos.app 的同步功能靠谱之后，Photos 就失灵了。目前我的手机里至少有十几张图片无法同步到 Mac 和其它设备，基本没什么办法。有听众建议我们请职业摄影师来聊 Photos，但我认识的摄影师很多甚至都还没有升级到 Yosemite。无他，专业用户不敢冒险。只要现有的系统用着合意，他们并没有什么动力去升级，反倒有很大动力不升级。万一升级后自己的工作流出了问题，一整天的生产力就付之东流了。 理论上说，苹果可以在未来的更新中慢慢把 Photos 做成消费者和专业用户两相宜的图片处理软件，毕竟他们原本面向专业用户的 Aperture 也停掉了。但我不确定他们是否在乎职业摄影师这个群体有没有在用 Photos。对苹果而言，只要摄影师们继续在买 Mac 就好。 今年的 Google I/O 开发者大会将于 5 月 28、29 日两天召开。会议内容最近爆出，其中最有趣的当属那个神秘的可穿戴设备了。谷歌在文稿中写了一段相当不工程师风格的话： Badass and beautiful. Tech and human. Love and work. ATAP. Wearables that we hope will blow your socks off. (We mean this more literally than you might think…). Our goal: break the tension between the ever-shrinking screen sizes necessary to make electronics wearable and our ability to have rich interactions with them. Why can’t you have both? We like to build new things. Sometimes seemingly impossible things. We can build them faster together. 且不论这究竟是什么，这所谓「可穿戴设备上日益缩小的屏幕尺寸与丰富的交互性之间的矛盾」，也是 Matt Gemmell 最近一篇文章中的主题。众所周知，在 Apple Watch 上市之前，很多人担心它会让我们已经支离破碎的生活进一步碎片化。但 Gemmell 用了几周后，发现正是由于智能手表的小尺寸，导致用户无法进行「丰富的交互」，结果减少了碎片化现象：一个连续使用超过三十秒手臂就会酸痛的设备，没什么事当然就不会用太久了。大部分时候，与 Apple Watch 的交互都限制在十秒之内。我不知道这个感受有没有普遍性，若有则可以说是一种意外收获。Google 自称解决了这个矛盾，又提到了袜子（socks），听上去好像是一种穿戴在下肢的设备。顺着这个思路想，解决屏幕尺寸越来越小的方式，大概就是干脆取消屏幕了吧。（除非顺便出一个扩增现实眼镜让你能随时看到自己腿上发生了什么 XD。） Oculus VR 宣布虚拟现实眼镜 Oculus Rift 将于明年第一季度发货，更多详细信息将会在「未来几周」慢慢在网站上公布。目前虚拟现实市场是 Oculus, 索尼和 Valve 三足鼎立。Valve 和 HTC 合作的眼镜以及他们自制的游戏主机将于今年底发售，索尼的 Project Morpheus 的发售时间应该和 Oculus Rift 差不了太多。和这两家相比，Oculus VR 的资金实力雄厚，视野也相对更开阔一些。CTO John Carmack 在今年三月旧金山的 GDC 上说过，未来 Oculus Rift 的应用很可能有超过半数并不是游戏，也未可知。 Facebook 的研究部门近日在《Science》杂志上发表关于 Facebook 用户多样性的报告。我们在很久之前的节目里讨论过「Filter Bubble」问题：个性化定制和推荐会让用户只能看到自己想看的内容，从而令视野受到局限。Facebook 这篇报告虽然行文严谨理性，但其扭转舆论的企图也十分明显。在我们看来，真正的 filter bubble 存在于每个人的内心，那是人性躲避陌生事物的体现。而当一个技术产品试图用算法去「提高内容消费的信噪比」时，恰恰是在鼓励大家退回自己的 comfort zone。所谓的「噪」，难道不就是 comfort zone 之外的东西吗？这是一个结构性问题。刚刚出版的 John Palfrey 的《BiblioTech》一书讲的是图书馆在 Google 年代的重要性，与此不无关系，或许会在未来的周五通讯为大家介绍。 （顺带说一下，提出 Filter Bubble 理论的人后来去做 Upworthy 了。） 不鸟万如一最近在玩的 app（Rio 最近没有玩什么 app） Lifeline THRED 最近我们读的一些文章 评 Facebook 新总部大楼 公知和他们的 XD 相关链接 Leslie Berlin: Why Silicon Valley will Continue to Rule DARPA Serendipity Breather 無次元 №14: 我们一起从山顶往下扔东西吧！ 纽约现代艺术馆的 Björk 展览 微软的 HoloLens 真的是给普通消费者准备的吗？ AGO 《纽约时报》对新微软的特写 2015 Google I/O 开发者大会的内容 Matt Gemmell: Distractions Digicel 在巴布亚新几内亚建手机发射站的视频 Oculus Rift 明年一季度发货 talich: 医生曾经说：吸烟「有益」健康 Facebook 研究报告称用户在 Facebook 能看到多样化的政见与观点 人物简介 不鸟万如一：字节社创始人。 Rio: Apple4us 程序员。

In an increasingly global and networked world, Americans will need new skills and knowledge to succeed. We have entered a time when personalized and lifelong learning are essential if individuals are to develop skills best suited to their talents, best aligned with market needs, and best able to allow them to adapt in a rapidly changing economy. Are we on the verge of a breakdown of the traditional relationship between educational attainment and economic advancement? This panel will explore how innovations in learning and training can better prepare everyone to succeed in a workforce that is continually evolving. Presented by: Markle Economic Future Initiative John Fallon, Craig Mundie, John Palfrey, John Deasy, David Kirkpatrick

How is the generation born in the digital age different from its analog ancestors? Are those born digital likely to have different notions of privacy, community, identity itself? How do educators approach this generation to help prepare them for scholarship and for citizenship? Speakers: John Palfrey, Head of School at Phillips Academy and author of Born Digital: Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives; and Ethan Zuckerman, director of the Center for Civic Media, a collaboration between the MIT Media Lab and Comparative Media Studies/Writing.

If you’ve ever experienced the problem of a dead cell phone battery and only incompatible chargers within reach, you’ve experienced one of the minor frustrations of a non-interoperable system. This frustration — not to mention the environmental waste of having dozens of different charger types for the same class of device — has led some countries to institute regulations for cell phone manufacturers to use a single common standard. Such a structure is an example of an Interoperable System. And interoperable systems can range anywhere from relatively minor markets like mobile phone chargers, to massive infrastructures like smart energy grids or air traffic systems. Friends of the show John Palfrey and Urs Gasser are the authors of the newly released Interop: The Promise and Perils of Highly Interconnected Systems. They spoke with David Weinberger about how Interoperability works, and how interoperable systems can lead to greater innovation, greater efficiency, and better functioning societies.

It’s time to stop thinking about intellectual property as something purely for your legal counsel to deal with. That’s the driving idea behind John Palfrey’s aptly titled new book Intellectual Property Strategy. Companies and institutions that have to worry about creative works, trademarks, or brands would be well-suited, Palfrey says, to seize the sword and shield from the attorneys (who tend to be aggressive and/or defensive about IP) and exercise a little more flexibility and creativity with intellectual property on their own. Palfrey sat down with David Weinberger for this week’s Radio Berkman to talk about why.

A special panel of guests will be on hand to discuss the future of libraries from many different angles. John Palfrey, Ken Hirsh, Sarah Glassmeyer, Greg Lambert, Elizabeth Farrell, and others will take the conversation wherever it will go.... We'll also discuss the ABA's proposed new tenure standards for library directors, and progress on the NCCUSL draft rules for electronic statutes.

We'll discuss the development and impact of the Durham Statement with two of the statement's champions, John Palfrey and Dick Danner.

Digital technology has radically changed the landscape of modern life, but what does this mean for those born into this digital era? On this program, Prof. John Palfrey discussed the digital natives.

This recording is from a party for TopTenSources. They were celebrating moving into a real office and the pass off from founder John Palfrey to a team headed by new CEO Halley Suitt. It has Halley talking about what Top10 is all about and their business model (or lack there of), Adam Green talking about their business model and programming and what he's doing and his view of Web 2.0 (it's the excitement after the dead of 2000-2004), John Palfrey talking about Top10 and business models and RSS and copyright, other Top10-related and semi-related people talking about what they do, the chief scientist from Feedster.com talking about the differences between automatic and editor-driven search results, a short speech by John, Halley, and others, and more. It ends with Halley talking about Dave Winer and his role in RSS, wishing he was there. Recorded: 2006-01-24 Length: 48:14, Size: 22.0MB
