'Working with the Facebook generation: Engaging students views on access to scholarship'

By clock on January 25, 2008.

Here is a video of SPARC-ACRL Forum '08 on 12 January, 2008 at the Pennyslvania Convention Center in Philadelphia:

The SPARC-ACRL Forum at ALA '08 entitled "Working with the Facebook generation: Engaging students views on access to scholarship." Panelists discuss the merits of student activism, patent reform, blogs as a communication medium for scientists, and students as active members of a discussion about the right to access information for scholarly work. Features Andre Brown, Nelson Pavlosky, Stephanie Wang, and Kimberly Douglas as panelists.

Pay particular attention to Andre Brown and minutes 42-55 as he talks about science blogs and Science 2.0 including mentions of all the usual suspects (Jean-Claude Bradley, Rosie Redfield, Reed Cartwright, Bill Hooker, Peter Suber and me):

Absolutely JasonR. Such skills get developed with experience in public speaking.

I had no problem at all understanding Andre. Maybe that's because I'm Scottish ("fast" speakers). Having read your comment, I listened to Andre again and I canseewhereyouarecomingfrom.

I emailed Andre earlier in the week and if he replies, I'll mention the constructive criticism in passing.
