Gregory B. Newby

Gregory B. Newby is an information scientist, librarian, and writer whose work has focused on digital libraries, online communities, and public access to knowledge. He has been prominently connected with Project Gutenberg, one of the earliest and best-known efforts to make books freely available online.

His background bridges scholarship and technology. Newby has written about how people find, share, and use information in networked environments, and his work has often explored the social side of digital systems as much as the technical side.

That mix of books, research, and internet culture makes his perspective especially interesting for readers who care about how literature survives and spreads in the digital age.
