Nice article that sees the patterns in the links and observes, "higher education and scholarly inquiry sit at the nexus of four important factors: (1) communications technology; (2) the communications business; (3) content development; and (4) the business (or sale) of content." What does that mean? Everybody in content-based industries - and that includes education - will have to learn to live in a new reality. "With fewer financial resources available, higher education institutions will be seeking out new and better ways to squeeze more value out of their e-content expenditures, not to raise substantially the pool of funds available."
