[DDN] podcasts and notes from U/Missouri scholarly communications conference
Hi everyone, I'm in Columbia, Missouri today at the University of Missouri conference on scholarly communications, open content and the digital divide. I gave the opening keynote on the topic Open Content vs. Closed Doors (or Closed Minds?) I talked about the evolution of digital divide discourse, recent trends regarding content development, and how tools such as blogs and wikis are changing how content is created for marginalized communities. I've posted my powerpoint and a podcast of the session: http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/02/podcast_open_content.html Additionally, I've posted notes covering Nancy Davenport, president of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), as well as a podcast from Anne Margulies, director of the MIT Open Courseware initiative.
