I now have the pleasure of introducing our May guest blogger, Lolly Gasaway! Lolly is one of the first people I met in my early career as a university copyright attorney who encouraged me along in what was at the time a fairly lonely field. If you practiced copyright law, you didn't generally have colleagues in the same state, let alone the same town, for example. As Director of University of North Carolina's Law Library and a faculty member jointly appointed to both the Library and Law Schools, Lolly's path crossed mine early on where copyright and libraries were concerned. She was and continues to be a great source of support and wisdom. Not coincidentally, a conversation I had with her in January of last year led directly to my decision to get my library degree.
Today Lolly is Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and very much involved in the intersection of libraries and copyright. She is one of the participants in the Library of Congress' Section 108 Study Group, to which she will make important contributions, I'm sure.
For the month of May, she'll be joining me here at Collectanea, so we all can benefit from her point of view, what catches her eye, what news she thinks we ought to know about in the world of copyright and libraries. Welcome, Lolly.
