Picking up the threads from good discussions over at KF's (here and here), the Chronicle has a ton of relevant material in the current issue: first, John Unsworth's essay on "Liberation Technology", which posits the oughts as the decade of O--open source, that is (open source version available to non-subscribers here); second, "The Promise and Peril of Open Access" on alternatives to the soaring price of scholarly journals; third, and apropos of Palimpsest, as well as Liz's MT Courseware, this article on "Open Source Course Management Tools"; fourth, an article on "Scholarship in a Digital Era" which discusses problems of digital preservation, including electronic literature--the explicit purview of ELO's PAD initiative. Plus lots more really worthwhile stuff. Why do these things always seem to arrive right at the start of a new semester?
