  • Doris Buijs

    Hi! My name is Doris, I'm 24 years old and I'm an Information Law student at the UvA. During my time at the GFF Project, I'll look into the legal uncertainties libraries face when lending e-books.

  • Mitchell White

    Hi I'm Mitchell. I follow the master's programme Information Law at the University of Amsterdam. I have a keen interest in IP-law, privacy and the legal issues which technological developments entail in these areas of the law. At the Information Law & Policy Lab, I'll be working on a copyright issue regarding libraries e-lending. Together with two co-students, we will propose a solution for this problem.
