by admin in Sabbatical Research and Thinking

David Lewis (dlewis@iupui.edu)

“Innovators Dillema”
see site .. “Public Lib of Science”
see

Price for Open Source Publication Fee  (ie: $2500 .. editorial board)
Beware of “corporate capture” …

Find Open Source Publishers / Fees .. I need samples
Publishers who only do – Print on demand – ebook only ??

CC – Noncommercial-Share-Alike 3.0

Disruptive Change:

Learn by doing
Save resources for 2nd or 3rd time
Dont ask what they WANT … WATCH what they do!!!
Be impatient for small things – BUT – dont be in a hurry for full scale

“paper handling will go away” – at iupui … align Tech Srv. and Dgital Initi.

Univ Arizona – culture of innovation – tho burdensome process

Chris Anderson (Wired) – also Long Tail

Every technlogy that becomes digital becomes FREE
Free because “Too cheap to meter”

Copyright:

Free riders ok .. find ways to get people to pay

We can do free DSPACE -

ReBalance benefits of scholarship -new incentives

- Grads, hit counters, opportnuntities gto publish,  CC license .. need to teach faculty to manging intell. property, differently

Look at open-source community “the more people that look at it .. the better it gets” – free riders are actually contributors to collective good – even critics – even stupid critics

BETTER THAN FREE …

What is it that people will pay money for ..

  • Immediacy – (network)
  • Personalisztion – some people might pay (network)
  • Interpretation – software free – manual costs
  • Authenticity – reliability, quality, library as “brand”
  • Accessibility – ownership sucks .. subscription?  mobile, repository role for libs?
  • Embodiment -
  • Patronage – WANT to donate
  • Findability – needs network scale

Machine – makes books . pay by page

Flip thinking

budget should support creation of knowledge…
customer is not consumer … but creator

Scholalry primitives …copyright center .. tools and techniques sharing
