Date: <\/strong> March 20, 2007
\nTime:<\/strong> 3-4:30 p.m.
\nPlace: <\/strong> Hodges Library Commons, practice presentation room (room 235)<\/p>\n

In celebration of the 100th anniversary as a land-grant depository library, UT Libraries is sponsoring the Web cast, Sunshine Week 2007: Closed Doors, Open Democracies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This second annual national program explores government secrecy and openness. Join Ira Flatow, host and executive producer of NPR’s Science Friday<\/em>, and two panels of experts addressing issues of access to government information, including the impact of government suppression and the manipulation of scientific information on public health and safety.<\/p>\n

Sunshine Week provides us an opportunity to celebrate and recognize the importance of open governments and the public’s right to know. Sunshine laws provide the public with a voice as to how local, state and federal governments make decisions and conduct business on behalf of the people they represent. Sunshine laws are also the basis for the broad legal protections we enjoy to access information from our government.<\/p>\n

More information about Sunshine Week is available at www.sunshineweek.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[Note: The program is an archived version of the March 12, 2007 Web cast. It begins with a lively discussion of the issues and ends with ideas for action. The program features video segments and a question-and-answer period.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
