Open Access and the Origin of the Research University | Academic Librarian

4 saves http://blogs.princeton.edu/librarian/2012/01/open-access-and-the-origin-of-...

Pull quote: "One of the founding principles of the modern research university was that the results of that research should be published and widely available, but that principle was ignored over the years if not completely forgotten. If research universities and university presses had lived up to their promise, there would never have been a serials crisis or an open access movement."

Condensed version of Shirky's argument in Cognitive Surplus (we've redirected just enough of our time spent watching TV to creating content on the web and have been able to do phenomenal things, like build up Wikipedia). This and Carr's article ("Does the Internet Make You Smarter?") might be useful in classroom debate for students.

Campbell, Gardner. "A Personal Cyberinfrastructure." EDUCAUSE Review 44.5 (2009)...

Suggests a vision of higher ed IT in which students are set up with domain name and ability to install and manage their own software and web services. He argues that "But if what the professor truly wants is for students to discover and craft their own desires and dreams, a personal cyberinfrastructure provides the opportunity. To get there, students must be effective architects, narrators, curators, and inhabitants of their own digital lives.6 Students with this kind of digital fluency will be well-prepared for creative and responsible leadership in the post-Gutenberg age. Without such fluency, students cannot compete economically or intellectually, and the astonishing promise of the digital medium will never be fully realized."

Author's abstract: "This study explores student use of the mobile Web in general and expectations for an academic library’s mobile Web site in particular through focus groups with students at Kent State University. Participants expressed more interest in using their mobile Web device to interact with library resources and services than anticipated. Results showed an interest in using research databases, the library catalog, and reference services on the mobile Web as well as contacting and being contacted by the library using text messaging."

From the executive summary: "In this report, you’ll read concerns and ideas about access and ease of use for library eBooks, library purchasing models, shifting relationships with vendors and publishers, cost and selection, copyright and fair use, and how to make the public library’s voice heard as eBooks change how people read for leisure and learning. We found new roles for public libraries and ways that COSLA could help provide leadership."
