I am not sure what the recent announcement about the Hypothes.is-Elsevier partnership means, but I sure hope it's in the "joyful" and "opportunity-oriented" realm!

At additional expense with shrinking budgets...

It's true! What a waste of valuable staff time and the resulting copy is inevitably of poorer quality for the end user.

This also causes inequities in library spending across disciplines. The disciplines that rely more heavily on journal literature have a greater proportion of the library budget than those that rely on monographs.

I don't disagree that access is a problem, but also know that some faculty and students do not understand that they need to pass through their university's authentication to access journals to which their library subscribes.

I don't think I would have recognized IL as an educational reform movement before reading this document, but am in total agreement with the move from skills-based to higher level thinking.

I just attended a screening of Screenagers and there was an addiction facility featured that specialized in digital addictions. I don't think it's "quasi-addictive" at all.

I love how he makes such a simple, logical conclusion from this hypothetical tribe that we know exists in reality.

There are barriers, even in an open environment--so many passwords to remember and some applications work more effectively on mobile devices, some less so. Technical experience and aptitude can be barriers.

Another form of open learning..it's never really done!

This is one of the most empowering statements in The Framework for learners/students. In general, I think the Framework seeks to empower learners and also to help them recognize their responsibilities as information consumers and creators.
