Tim Bulkeley has a rebuttal to my reflection upon open access scholarship.  He has some very good points especially with his analysis of the costs of electronic storage and distribution.  His first post is on research and in general I agree with him (however, I still like physical books, I dislike doing real reading from a computer screen).  I am looking forward to his second post in which he will discuss open source teaching.

While we’re on the subject, see David Hymes’ reflection upon open teaching.  I think this might work on a limited basis (my videos on the Nineveh paper I wrote might fit into this), however, institutions will probably resist full-blown open teaching–afterall, they do have bills to pay.
