The Fragmentation and Re-integration of Scholarly Communications
At UCLA, May 11 2011. On the subject of the fragmentation and re-integration of scholarly communications, and what it means as the old ways of integrating and disseminating science (i.e., the monthly printed journal) gets totally borked by the network. A little bit of detail on how to use the web to put humpty dumpty back together.
The Inevitability of Open
At the TERENA 2011 Network Conference. I gave the closing keynote. No embeds possible, but a nice hires version, with me in a corner and big shots of the slides. Many of the same themes as the UCLA talk, but with a bigger focus on the broad aspects of open access and less on the complexities of technical re-integration.
