Do you have any favorite articles about OA (or at least author rights) that would be good for PhD students who are about to start their careers?
Well, I have a favorite blog: Stuart Shieber's. http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/pamphle... For intro stuff, I turn reflexively to Peter Suber. - D0r0th34
Meg: I'll suggest the Library Leadership Network cluster on OA, at http://lln.lyrasis.org -- but since it relies very heavily on Suber's work, you could just go directly to him. [Click on "Policy" once in LLN--it's the shortest list of articles that includes all the OA stuff.] - Walt Crawford
Great, thanks for the leads. - Meg v. Meg v. 1.0.0.1

The Wii Fit doesn't lie....even with all this holiday food, I'm still down 55 pounds since I started on this journey in June. Not bad for 6 months. I have my weight loss/fitness goals for 2010 already mapped out. 2010 is really gonna be a good year.
Awesome, Mary! - WorldofHiglet

Realtime RSS - Dear Santa: Please, a new Facebook API
"It’s still Christmas for a few more hours and as my thoughts return to development (the last two weeks of the year are often my most productive) I’m hoping that Santa is getting ready to deliver a new API for Facebook. My hopes are up because when Facebook bought FriendFeed, they brought on board a couple of guys who know how to craft an API that works. And from what I hear they’re working on APIs for Facebook now. What I look for in an API is simplicity, efficiency, and having all the bases covered. I don’t want to hit dead ends but I also want to reach “Hello World” in minutes, maybe even seconds. The FriendFeed API sure qualified on both counts." - Dave Winer from Bookmarklet
Yes, I agree that it /should/ be a lot easier to feed in multiple RSS feeds in to Facebook and various pages. - Joe
Seems that should be a quick hit - Dave Winer

You're Just Not that into Science - http://boscoh.com/science...
I guess I was into science, until I left my job. Now, I'm into food and clothing. - Mark A Jensen
I'm like the author of the article, but sometimes I wonder if I would be better off being the other way. - Ruchira S. Datta
I don't see the need to make value judgements. Some people get deeply into a narrow field, some people cross-pollinate; both "styles" have their strengths and uses. - Bill Hooker
Some of us are into science, even if we aren't practicing it, so generalizations are difficult. But I do think our system is at a crossroads. People who are passionate about science don't always have avenues for that passion, or at least think they don't - Deepak Singh
and yet here comes citizen science! http://robertpaterson.posterous.com/science... let's hope, anyway - D0r0th34

John, I might try to use this as a discussion lead for the unconference in 3 weeks. - Joe
John, fascinating piece, but I wonder if we really have enough information to predict change. Rather shouldn't we (and that is part of your point) be in a position to adjust to any change we might encounter? - Deepak Singh
John, I'm probably going to use this on the first day of my collection-development class. :) It's exactly the sort of thing I want students working out in their own heads. - D0r0th34
thanks, everyone. The whole point of what I'm trying to do is ask question. Deepak, you're right. In a sense, I'm not trying to come up with *the* answer about the future, but rather use some scenario-building as a way of being metally prepared. I always think of Harry Turtledove's WorldWar series, where earth is invaded by aliens in the middle of WWII. One of his viewpoint characters... more... - John Dupuis
To follow up to Deepak's point: the purpose of SF isn't to make concrete predictions about the future, but rather to give a new way to think about present challenges. When SF writes predict something right on, it's usually by accident. Am I predisposed to thinking about the future because I read SF or do I read SF because I'm predisposed to think about the future? An interesting... more... - John Dupuis
There's a difference between fortunetelling and extrapolation. The former is impossible. The latter is necessary, but always with an awareness that stuff comes out of left field. I thought IRs were dead -- and then Harvard happened. I wasn't wrong in what I was noticing; it's just that the playing field suddenly changed. It happens. The awareness, however, has still proven useful. - D0r0th34
I grew up reading Asimov (my dad was a huge fan) and the whole concept of robots and the likes were fascinating. I definitely continue to believe we can/should imagine. I also believe that things never quite happen that way. The key is understanding science well enough to be able to appreciate the times when fiction becomes reality - Deepak Singh

I left my comment on the OSTP forum on public access to federally funded research, have you? http://blog.ostp.gov/2009...
There is an Official Comment coming from MPOW, therefore I am enjoined from commenting personally. Sigh. - D0r0th34
i did the standard disclaimer. but... i'm easily google-able. i should check if the parent institution plans to comment - they are working on an open access statement. - Christina Pikas

To me, a document is something electronic that may incidentally be printed out. To a surprising number of my colleagues, a document is something on paper that incidentally began life in electronic form.
