The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress presents a series of evening lectures on "Managing Knowledge and Creativity 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 may use to ask participants questions during the event.

The fourth lecture of this series "And Is All This Stuff Really Digital After All?" held on Monday, Jan. 31, 2005, featured Brian Cantwell Smith, Dean of the Faculty of Information Studies at the University of Toronto, author of "On the Origin of Objects," and expert on the interdisciplinary convergence brought about by digitization.

Moderators and coordinators for these events are Deanna Marcum, Associate Librarian for Library Services at the Library of Congress and Derrick de Kerckhove, holder of the Harissios Papamarkou Chair in Education and Technology at the John W. Kluge Center.
