14 August 2011 13:45 - 15:45 | Room: Grand Salon A | SI

Congress track 2: Policy, strategy and advocacy.

FAIFE sessions give you the answers to what is just now happening in the world. Whether it is Wikileaks, Twitter revolutions, or who really controls the Internet - FAIFE sessions bring you the vital themes, most interesting speakers and ideas to how to bring it all to your everyday life.

The programme tackles the transition from classical censorship to cybercensorship, the phenomena of the Darknet and the role of libraries in the transition. Presenters and panellists will debate the transparency explosion caused by Wikileaks and the extent to which social media complemented such a phenomenon and fermented revolution - and what libraries can learn from the events of the past 12 months.

Note: to prepare for the theme while travelling to Puerto Rico try reading Yevgeni Morozov's book The Net Delusion. It is the first choice of the FAIFE Book club.
