The Institute for Information Law,
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 celebrate the success of the series, and to make volumes in 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 important works such as 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 several ground-breaking academic conferences. 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, Professor 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 books in the series remain in print and can be purchased from the Wolters Kluwer web store.
