8094. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 12:33:21 AM it's like Michael Moore movies. I always look at the schedule. 8095. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 12:40:14 AM we benefitted hugely from our access to internet tools. and rural people benefit in ways they will feel if certain changes occur. but that's okay at least things are moving forward in Rwanda: allafrica.com/stories/201411031835.html/ 8097. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 12:52:30 AM https://archive.org/index.php 8098. iiibbb - 11/10/2014 2:29:12 AM Google scholar is becoming fairly effective at looking up research. Most authors will send you a reprint if you ask.
Another place to look is Research Gate (facebook for researchers) you can often get preprints there... Which are the draft before the galley proofs...
Also, if you physically go to a library, you can usually download or email whatever you need. 8099. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 3:47:14 AM A lot of that has changed as a result of Swartz, including JSTOR opening a lot for free. Regarding Google Scholar, I haven't looked at it in a while, but I've been frustrated to find a lot of abstracts where you can't get the whole piece without paying. this stuff is online it ought to be accessible there. 8100. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 3:51:15 AM even working with students on ar Ed research on traveler has been more frustrating than it should be for public schools. not a fault of traveler:
www.library.arkansas.gov/libraryDivisions/travelerAccess/Pages/default.aspx 8101. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 3:57:42 AM Before the internet I would take 60 kids or more 30 miles to the nearest University Library, where my dad happened to be a professor, and my English teacher colleague and I would use our own cards to check out books for those kids, and one of us, usually me, would deliver the books back in huge piles to the library. Magazines were a different story. We had to bring plenty of dimes so kids could make copies. The Internet has revolutionized research,education, and the ability to acquire and analyze knowledge. Swartz himself used that knowledge to expose a lot of what people needed to know. 8102. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 4:04:00 AM I know about research gate, as well, but again, it's limited wrt what it has. here's something from them regarding Swartz and his Guerilla Open Access Manifesto:
www.researchgate.net/publication/254956081_Open-Sourcing_the_Global_Academy_Aaron_Swartz's_Legacy 8103. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 4:05:45 AM only the abstract is available at the moment. 8104. iiibbb - 11/10/2014 4:07:07 AM If you find the abstract, try emailing the author. I don't think anyone has ever refused to send me a pdf.
I'm at a smallish university. Their interface is pretty slick now. Walk in, get on a PC, use your favorite search engine to look up an article, download the pdf to a thumb drive, or email it to myself.
One thing I've always wondered is whether the inter-library loan system works for public libraries. I think it does.
So it may not be as easy for joe public to acquire cites as it is for me, it's not impossible to get a paper copy without going through a paywall. 8105. iiibbb - 11/10/2014 4:09:22 AM Regarding that Research Gate abstract... see the button to the right that says "Request Full Text". Try clicking that. 8106. iiibbb - 11/10/2014 4:10:56 AM Or click here 8107. iiibbb - 11/10/2014 4:12:24 AM Give me an example of a paper you can't get. 8108. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 4:15:44 AM what? how do I do that? I don't have one up my ass right now.
wait. I'll look for some I personally know. but it may not be tonight.
one more good one from a librarian blog: bibwild.wordpress.com/2013/01/13/library-values-and-digital-divide-in-memoriam-aaron-swartz/ 8109. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 4:20:10 AM here ya go:
gradworks.umi.com/34/86/3486018.html 8111. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 4:22:17 AM And again, as I said earlier, a lot has changed because of Aaron Swartz.. 8112. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 4:24:28 AM I did find my dad's:
https://repositories.tdl.org/ttu-ir/handle/2346/13617 8113. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 4:33:31 AM it's not just free access, it's ease of access. 8114. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 4:43:06 AM last link of the night, where this is (hopefully) headed now: www.motherjones.com/media/2013/09/michael-eisen-plos-open-access-aaron-swartz?page=2 8115. arkymalarky - 11/10/2014 8:23:54 PM I know I've been harping on this the last two days, but this development today is hugely important. A good sum up of the issue in this article from BGR, but people need to be raising the roof over this and make sure that Obama gets his way.
