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.

My name is Inger and I am very excited to be part of the ILP-lab team 2021/2022! I joined the ILP Lab as a student-researcher as part of the LLM Information law programme.
