and something that could really shake academic publishing in the future. Th=
e end of $130 text books could be around the corner. This is just one of se=
veral examples of open-source publishing where anyone may view and contribu=
te within the review structures established for the project. You can learn =

Subject: Course Backpacks, etc.
Does anyone have information on the use of the Copyright Clearance Center, =
Inc. or University Readers for digital course backpacks or digital custom t=
extbooks. If there are other services or companies you have used, please e=
mail about those also. Are
there cost savings associated with these digital products versus a print on=
paper textbook? If any schools are using these products, how are they han=
dling the costs, i.e. charging parents for their student's materials or fig=
uring course or possibly
division costs and adding it to tuition. Thank you
