Wednesday, 14 August, 2002Clarification re the TWEN rantTWEN does not allow professors to check up on students' borrowing of print books and course reserves. The operative word I used is "equivalent." If a professor has an electronic copy of a text - they can upload it to their TWEN site and the students can access it that way - and this is what TWEN can track. I imagine that as TWEN becomes more popular, there will be fewer paper reserves (which are generally disliked by faculty, students and librarians) and more usage of the documents feature on TWEN. This will lead to more potential for law faculty to monitor their students' reading in a way that would have been unethical (from a librarian's point of view) and often illegal in the equivalent print medium. 10:47:05 AM  Comments []
