Read through Dr. Leonard Dobusch “live” blog of the summit

Our intrepid curator hails from Canada. Kelsey has 6 years of research experience working in special libraries in the Great White North. Kelsey has a curious passion for copyright and is know for mashing interesting people together and her chocolate chip cookies. She arrived in Cape Town from Cairo on her bicycle. Specializing in digging up gems of Creative Commons in South Africa, Kelsey loves new information and can't wait to hear your stories. Her top three books as a child would be Anne of Green Gables, Little Orphan Annie Volumes1-3, and James and the Giant Peach and she thinks Catcher in the Rye is highly overrated.
