Here's an interesting article. Looks like there is a trend toward open archives. I think this is a good thing - not sure we want all of our information needs to be met exclusively through Google!

check out the article here

Yeah as friendly and charming as google seems, there may lie a monster within.

What exactly is an open archive? The link didn't work, and wiki didn't seem to have anything to say.

I'm damned if I can even remember exactly what that was about. At any rate, I can't find it again. Too bad. As partial compensation, I offer this link to an online scolarly research portal. Should maybe go in another thread, but what the hey.

Oh, and open archives are what happen when knowledge-producing institutions decide to make some of the knowledge they produce freely available over the Internet. MIT is big into it, as are some other forward-thinking american universities.
