The Access Principle

Inside Higher Ed is running a brief “interview with John Willinsky”:http://insidehighered.com/news/2005/12/20/access, the authror of “The Access Principle”:http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=10611. Like many scholars interested in copyright reform and open access scholarship, I preordered this book some time ago and I’m looking forward to reading it. It certainly seems poised to summarize what so much of us have been arguing for a long time now, and on all accounts it is a lucid and thorough treatment of the subject. I highly reccomend it, and will blog more after I get my hands on a copy just to make sure that my positive views are actually justified!
