COUNTING THE NUMBERS
Later today the U.S. Supreme Court will hear representatives of two
presidential candidates argue about numbers. Counting the numbers has
dominated presidential politics for three weeks now. Numbers are
important in electronic publishing, too, and this issue of The
Journal of Electronic Publishing offers some numbers for your
consideration. There will be no recounts.
So here is the December 2000 issue of The Journal of Electronic
Publishing for your reading enjoyment: http://www.press.umich.edu/jep

Should You Publish in Electronic Journals?
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/06-02/sweeney.html
Aldrin E. Sweeney, assistant professor of science education
at the University of Central Florida, has numbers to show
that faculty and administrators are still on the fence about
e-journals.

co-editors of the Electronic Journal of Information
Technology in Construction, have numbers to show that
scientists increasingly look to e-journals for information.
Consortia vs. Reform: Creating Congruence
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/06-02/landesman.html
Margaret Landesman, the head of collection development at
the Marriott Library, University of Utah, and Johann van

discovered that two of the most popular solutions to the
serials crisis may cancel out one another.

http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/06-02/lyman.html
Peter Lyman, associate dean, and Hal R. Varian, dean, at
the School of Information Management and Systems at the
University of California, Berkeley, are trying to count all
recorded information. They've gotten pretty far.
When Shall We Be Free?
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/06-02/singer.html
Peter Singer, an associate editor of the Canadian Medical
Association Journal, and Sun Life Chair and Director,
University of Toronto Joint Center for Bioethics, Toronto,
Canada, presses his case for the free dissemination of
research results.
Q.A.: Access Code Redux
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/06-02/lieb0602.html
Contributing editor Thom Lieb suggests ways publishers
should make their Web sites comply with disability laws.
Thom also asks JEP readers for help for his next column, on
privacy policies for e-journals. Please take a few minutes
to respond to his survey at
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/jepsurvey.html
And if you want your thoughts about electronic publishing to count,
share them in Potpourri: http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/potpourri.html

A VISION OF THE "NEW EDUCATION"
"All signs indicate that we are on a path to creating a 'new education'
analogous to the 'new economy.' . . . What is our vision of the 'new
education'? Is it one of techno-dazzle for its own sake? Not at all.
Computers and the Internet are simply tools, just as lectures,
recitations, and homework are tools. . . . The goal is not to replace
today's educational methods but to enhance them. . . . It's all about
using technology for what it can do best so that people can be freed to
do what they do best."
In "Darwin Goes to College: Educational Competition in the Dot-com
World" (EDUCAUSE REVIEW, vol. 35, no. 6 November/December 2000, pp.
12-17) Lehigh University's President Gregory Farrington and Provost
Roland Yoshida share their vision of how new technologies may change
traditional colleges and universities in the next few years. The
article is available online at
http://www.educause.edu/pub/er/erm00/articles006/erm0061.pdf
Another article in the same vein in this issue is "Technology, Higher
Education, and a Very Foggy Crystal Ball," by Brian Hawkins (pp. 65-6,
68, 70, 72-3). It is available online at

SURVEY OF DISTANCE LEARNING INSTRUCTORS
A National Education Association (NEA) poll of over 400 instructors who
teach distance learning courses found that "Faculty teaching distance
learning courses and faculty teaching traditional courses hold positive
opinions about distance learning, primarily because distance learning
courses offer educational opportunities to students who would not
otherwise enroll in courses. While faculty believe they will be hurt
financially by distance learning, and financial considerations are very
important to them, at the current time, their enthusiasm for offering
an education to more students outweighs these concerns." The full
report, "A Survey of Traditional and Distance Learning Higher Education
Members," is available online at
http://www.nea.org/he/abouthe/dlstudy.pdf
The NEA is America's oldest and largest organization committed to
advancing the cause of public education, with more than 2.5 million
members who work at every level of education, from pre-school to
university graduate programs. For more information link to

PROTECTING VISUAL CONTENT ON THE WEB
Protecting and controlling their intellectual property are major
concerns for instructors putting their course materials on the Web. In
"Protecting Content on the Web" (CONTENT, issue 9, pp. 24-6), Tony
Henning describes some of the methods for preventing users from copying
and reusing images from your website: image "scarring", watermarking,
public-key cryptography (example: Clever Content;
http://www.alchemedia.com/), and server control of browsers (example:
Vyoufirst digital rights management; http://www.vyou.com/). This
article and others dealing with digital rights management are available
on the Web at http://www.contentworld.com/magazine/currentissue.html

STUDY OF WORLD INFORMATION PRODUCTION
A study conducted by the School of Information Management and Systems
at the University of California at Berkeley attempted to estimate how
much information there is in the world to store and how much storage
would be needed to store "everything." According to the researchers,
the "world's total production of information [print, film, optical, and
magnetic formats] amounts to about 250 megabytes for each man, woman,
and child on earth." "How Much Information?" is available on the Web at
http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/how-much-info/
