Comments on: Clarification Offered for “Technology: The textbook of the future” in Nature http://dltj.org/article/clarification-offered-for-technology-the-textbook-of-the-future-in-nature/ We're Disrupted, We're Librarians, and We're Not Going to Take It Anymore Mon, 06 Sep 2010 04:21:34 +0000 hourly 1 By: the Jester http://dltj.org/article/clarification-offered-for-technology-the-textbook-of-the-future-in-nature/comment-page-1/#comment-35168 the Jester Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:35:44 +0000 http://dltj.org/?p=855#comment-35168 I linked to the article the best way I could. I did receive a courtesy copy from the author (e.g., I didn't pay to read the article on the Nature website), and I recognize that I don't have the right to redistribute the copy I received. If I believe anything, as it relates to the topic of information distribution, it is that there are new business models to be explored that make some forms of distribution "free" while being supported by the monetization of other forms of distribution. I don't think I'm being inconsistent here. I linked to the article the best way I could.
