The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress presents

in a Digital Context" featuring some of the best known experts
in digitally networked communications. The hour and a half programs,
which will run from November through March 2005, will be aired
live on C-SPAN. C-SPAN will promote an e-mail address which viewers

The moderators and coordinators for these events are Deanna Marcum,

Weinberger is also author of "Small Pieces, Loosely Joined:
A Unified Theory of the Web," a frequent commentator on National
Public Radio and author of articles in magazines such as Wired
and the Harvard Business Review. Weinberger, who has a doctorate
