Brian Lamb points to one of the many benefits of open access: "That Connexion's robust digital-to-print conversion features combined with advances in print-on-demand technology have allowed Rice University Press to rise from the ashes." And as he notes, Michael Geist nails it on the head: "Canadians pride themselves in being one of the world's most connected countries; however, the failure to lead on issues such the Open Courseware consortium and open access to the results of Canadian research suggests that we are still struggling to identify how to fully leverage the benefits to education of new technology and the Internet. Many of Canada's top universities may liken themselves to MIT, but the near-total absence of Canada from the Open Courseware consortium suggests that there is still much to learn." I agree. Canada needs to wake up.
