Minitex just sent out a link to this article by a librarian from Gustavus.
http://insidehighered.com/views/2008/02/18/fister
It and the comments (at least as of 2:56 p.m. on 2/21/08) are worth reading.
It brings points that I too have been wondering about
--free information, free access, but what is the real price....who is cacheing the data about what we click on and what are they going to do with it
--protecting one's identity online. I think we need more guidelines and 23 Things could be a place to do this.
--all the issues with intellectual property and journal access etc.
--librarians and libraries as the purveyors and protectors of our information access rights.
