[Air-L] Disruptive Scholarship

[Gerry Mckiernan]

Colleagues/

I am pleased to read the variety of recent posting about Open Access and Alternative Scholarship.

On Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2007, I launched a new blog titled _Scholarship 2.0: An Idea Whose Time Has Come_

_Scholarship 2.0_ is devoted to describing and documenting the forms, facets, and features of alternative Web-based scholarly publishing practices. The variety of old and new metrics available for assessing the impact, significance, and value of Web-based scholarship is of particular interest.

_Scholarship 2.0_ is located at [ http://scholarship20.blogspot.com/ ]
