DSpace Filling the Vacuum?. Lisa Williams looks at a study of institutional
content repositories. "An April 2004 survey of 45 IRs
found the average number of documents to be only 1,250 per
repository, with a median of 290. This is a small number
when considering the hundreds of thousands of dollars and
staff hours that go into establishing and maintaining an
IR." Well, yeah, but where does the problem lie - in
the design of the repository software, as Williams seems to
suggest? Or in an institutional structure that always seems
to turn a simple idea into an expensive project? By Lisa
Williams, Auricle, January 28, 2005

Today's freshmen pursue 'safe and tried path' to success | csmonitor.com.
If you haven't been to a college campus lately, here's a quick primer
on the current freshman class: • 26 percent frequently talk about
politics. • 48 percent had 'A' averages in high school.• 33 percent
say the death penalty should be abolished. • 23 percent say racial
discrimination is no longer a problem in America (though at
historically black colleges, that figure drops to 14 percent). • 51
percent spent less than an hour per week reading for pleasure in their
senior year of high school [Edubloggers Links Feed]
