- John Campbell - Modern Journalist. He's come out of the closet with his political leanings. Reading between the lines, he wants journalism to have more heart, more depth. He wants journalism to have an open perspective - if he writes from the left, and people know that he writes from the left, then everything can be evaluated in that context.

- Abby Smith, Changing Scholarly Communication, CLIR Issues, November/December 2003. Excerpt: "Creating fundamental change in the processes of research and dissemination --change that can be sustained over time and across institutional boundaries-- requires developing a cadre of leaders in various disciplines who are willing to explore new models of scholarship, to encourage and support those with whom they collaborate, and to mentor those who aspire to continue this work. It is this vision that informs the Scholarly Communication Institute (SCI), which held its first session this summer at Dartmouth College." |
