The Institute for Information Law (IViR) at the University of Amsterdam, in collaboration with Kluwer Law International, publisher of the Information Law Series, has launched an online archive of older book volumes published in the series.
The Information Law Series, which was established in 1991, is the world’s first and foremost academic book series in the field of information law and policy. Publications in the Series are aimed not only at scholars and advanced students, but also at practitioners and policy makers who are active in this rapidly expanding field. Since 1991, forty-eight volumes were published in the series, covering a vast and constantly growing range of current issues.
To make the series more accessible to scholars, students and other interested readers, Kluwer Law International has agreed to make older volumes freely available online. The first ten volumes in the series are now available in searchable pdf format on a dedicated part of the IViR website. These include the pioneering dissertations by Jacqueline Seignette (on authorship and copyright ownership), Sebastian Pinckaers (on the right of publicity), Lucie Guibault (on the intersection between copyright exceptions and contract law) and Lee Bygrave (on the foundations of personal data protection), as well as the proceedings of ground-breaking academic events, such as The Future of Copyright in a Digital Environment – the first ever international conference on copyright and the Internet held in Amsterdam in 1995. More volumes in the Series will be added to the online archive in due course.
The Information Law Series was initially published under the joint editorship of Professors Egbert Dommering and Bernt Hugenholtz. From 2000 until 2023, Bernt Hugenholtz acted as sole General Editor. As from 2024, Professor Martin Senftleben is in charge of the series.
A complete listing of all volumes published in the series is available here. All volumes remain in print and can be purchased from the Wolters Kluwer web store.
