From significant developments in human knowledge over the past century to the relationship between the rule of law and the spread of democracy; from the Great Congressional triumvirate of Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and Daniel Webster to the historical context of poetry; from preserving and securing collections to national libraries of the world and bibliographic control in the new millennium...all of these subjects have been a part of the rich mosaic of Bicentennial symposia.

The Bicentennial symposia are available as cybercasts on the Library's Web site. Take a look at the descriptions of past symposia, and if the topic and speakers intrigue you, watch the cyber version!
