Welcome to the Free Online Scholarship Newsletter
August 16, 2001
Edward Felten speaks
Princeton's Edward Felten finally described in public how he bypassed the
copy-protection methods created by the Secure Digital Music Initiative
(SDMI).
You probably know the backstory, but here's a brief overview just in
case. The SDMI is a consortium of 200+ music and technology
companies. Last September it offered a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone
who could bypass its experimental copy protection schemes on a music CD in
less than a month. Felten and his team broke five of the six in three
weeks. They refused the prize money so that they would be free to publish
their methods and results.
Felten planned to present his team's work at a Pittsburgh conference in
April, but cancelled his talk when a lawyer from the Recording Industry
Association of America (RIAA) wrote him a threatening letter. The RIAA
later said that the letter was not a threat to sue. However, since the
Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA) prohibits bypassing copy-protection
on copyrighted works, even for academic purposes, Felten worried about
liability. The recent arrest of Dmitry Sklyarov has proved that Felten's
fears were justified. In June, Felten asked a U.S. District Court to
declare that he has a First Amendment right to give his presentation, and
to overturn the parts of the DMCA that would stop him, but the court has
not yet ruled. In its motion to dismiss Felten's lawsuit, the RIAA
repeated its insistence that it was not Felten's legal adversary. With
that assurance, Felten agreed to give his presentation last night at the
Usenix Security Symposium, in Washington, D.C.
Felten has said he will continue to press his lawsuit even after he
presents his paper. In my view he is right to do so. Sklyarov is being
prosecuted even though Adobe has dropped its complaint against him. Even
if the RIAA doesn't file a legal complaint against Felten, a zealous
prosecutor could still prosecute him. In that sense, he needs a court to
defang the DMCA and affirm his First Amendment right to describe his
research in public. However, a court disinclined to examine the merits of
his claim could decide that it is moot now that he has given his presentation.

Public Library of Science deadline imminent
If you're reading this, then you probably know about the Public Library of
Science (PLoS), one of the boldest recent FOS initiatives. It all started
with a March 23 letter to the editor of _Science Magazine_ signed by
Richard Roberts, Harold Varmus, and eight others. The gist of the letter
was to call on biomedical journals to put their contents online, free of
charge, in public archives, within six months of print publication. The
call has since been widened to all scientific and scholarly
journals. Roberts, Varmus, et al. also called on scientists to sign a
pledge not to "publish in, edit or review for, or personally subscribe to"
journals that do not heed the call. The web list of signers now includes
more than 26,000 scientists from 170 countries.
Quoting the PLoS FAQ: "No institution that asks for our money and
voluntary contributions of work and intellectual property has a right to
take these for granted."
The deadline for journals to comply and pledgers to act is September 1. If
you want to add weight to the PLoS call on journals, there is still time to
sign the web pledge. If you want to coordinate your action with research
and library colleagues, now is the time to talk to them. If you want to
write up this story for a journal covering your discipline, now is a good
time to start.
Start to watch your favorite news sources and scholarly journals for
responses to the pledge, the deadline, and the action of pledgers. I
imagine this story will be covered fairly well in the scientific and
mainstream press. But I also imagine that there will be many small,
telling episodes that never make the bigger news outlets, including
individual struggles with conscience by pledgers. If you learn of any
details not being covered elsewhere, or if you have thoughts on the PLoS
initiative, I hope you'll post them to our discussion forum.

Psychologists adjust
In June the American Psychological Association (APA) revised its policy on
posting articles to the internet. Authors may post unreviewed preprints to
the web provided they label them as unreviewed. The APA warns authors that
some journals will regard this as prior publication and will refuse to
consider them. It does not condemn or discourage this practice by
journals, but at least it has dropped the explicit endorsement contained in
previous policy statement.
Authors of articles accepted for publication in APA journals may post
electronic versions to their personal or institutional websites, but not to
third-party repositories, and may do so as soon as the articles are
accepted. This is a liberalization of the previous policy, which held that
authors could not put reviewed post-prints online until three years after
print publication. Authors may not create the digital version of an
article by scanning the print version from an APA journal. (Thanks to
Christopher Green's 8/12 posting to the September98-Forum for details on
the APA's previous policy.)
APA policy on posting articles to the internet
http://www.apa.org/journals/posting.html
* Postscript. What positions do the major professional societies in your
discipline take on these questions? If you can find online policy
statements and send me the URLs, I'll collect them on a web page.
* PPS. Since scholars can have FOS as soon as they decide to have it, it's
heartening to see professional associations take steps in the direction of
having it. The APA is ahead of most scholars and even more publishers in
its willingness to see scholarship free and online in some form. On the
other hand, it is still endorsing unnecessary impediments to FOS. This is
only a problem if you want to follow the professional associations and not
lead them. Bottom line: you needn't wait for publishers and you needn't
wait for professional associations. You can make an individual or
institutional archive for unreviewed preprints at any time. You and
colleagues can create new free online peer-reviewed journals at any
time. If you serve on the editorial board for an existing print journal,
you and your board colleagues can move the journal to the web at any time,
divorcing your current publisher if necessary. (For an inspiring example,
see the _Journal of Logic Programming_ story in our May 11 issue.)
----------
Do it yourself
* Sun has released the second edition of its Digital Library Tool
Kit. This is the first upgrade in the tool kit since 1998. The title may
be misleading: this is not software but a document of advice and
instruction. It can be downloaded free of charge.
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/edu/libraries/digitaltoolkit.html
* The Scout Report has released the Scout Portal Toolkit. If you want to
assemble an online collection of academic content and focus on the content,
download this free software.
http://scout.cs.wisc.edu/research/SPT/main.html
* Make your own e-books from your desktop publisher. New software allows
you to export QuarkXPress documents to Microsoft Reader e-book format. The
software is free for downloading.
http://www.quark.com/support/downloads/details.jsp?idx=443
----------
Share your thoughts
* Mark Jordan of Simon Fraser University and Dave Kisly of the British
Columbia Electronic Library Network are conducting a survey on how
libraries handle electronic serials. They would like no more than one
reply per library. If you represent a library, share your thoughts before
the September 30 deadline.
http://www.targetinform.com/eserials/
* The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative seeks your comments on the first
draft of its library application profile.
http://dublincore.org/documents/library-application-profile/
* Gerry McKiernan is looking for examples of Library Knowledge Bases to add
to his web-based registry.
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/KBL.htm
* The Open eBook Forum is calling for all eBook stakeholders (e.g. readers,
publishers, librarians, vendors) to contribute "any need, want or wish that
a participant determines should be reviewed by others to facilitate an
effective and efficient ePublishing industry."
http://www.openebook.org/requirements/
* The National Technical Information Service (NTIS) wants your comments on
its plan to streamline access to technical reports. It proposes to enhance
its search engine hit links with digital object identifiers (DOIs) that
resolve to the copies of the reports in the agencies that created
them. This will enable users to link directly to free versions of the
documents. By contrast, downloading the same documents from NTIS is not
free. (So what's the catch?) Comments will be accepted until September 13.

New on the net
* The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) home page has moved from Los Alamos
servers to Cornell University. Note the new URL.
http://www.openarchives.org/
* Imagine a work of web art which makes your browser window into an
abstract map of Dewey Decimal space. As you move your cursor around, you
mouse over Dewey numbers embedded in an ever-changing 3D grid of active
links to real web pages. If you click, you'll open a new window to the
page your mouse is then highlighting, although you will almost always be
surprised what this page turns out to be. It's cool and confusing at the
same time. You'll hope this not the future of online information
cataloging, but you'll hope it influences that future. It's Babel by Simon
Biggs. (You'll need Shockwave installed.)
http://www.babel.uk.net/
* Cornell's Engineering and Computer Science Library created Sticker Shock,
a text and image slide show on the serials crisis.
http://www.englib.cornell.edu/displays/stickershock/default.html
* The National Academies (National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of
Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council) have
launched a web site on intellectual property topics, especially those that
arise in the scholarship and research. It contains a library of valuable
papers, a discussion forum, and a newsletter.
http://ip.nationalacademies.org
* Yahoo is now offering free online course management tools, which will
make it a competitor with WebCT, Blackboard, and other priced
vendors. This is a good deal for academics. But two provisos: (1) you
might prefer MIT's free online course management tools, which have the
advantage of open source, and (2) Yahoo has recently started charging for
services it originally offered free of charge.

In other publications
* In their September issue, the editors of _Smart Business_, name
Sigma-Aldrich as #20 among the Smart Business 50. These are companies that
make exceptional use of the internet. Sigma-Aldrich sells chemicals, but
won this distinction because it provides useful, voluminous, and free
information about its chemicals. The result is a free online content
provider as much as a for-profit chemical vendor.

* In the August 15 _DigiNews_, Daniel Greenstein and Gerald George describe
the Digital Library Federation (DLF) project to develop a standard of
minimum digital fidelity when digitizing printed texts. A higher standard
will enhance the interoperability of different archives but exclude more
legacy data. The DLF will soon post its proposed standard to its web site
for discussion and approval.
http://www.rlg.org/preserv/diginews/diginews5-4.html#featured
* In the same issue of _DigiNews_, David Holdsworth and Paul Wheatley argue
for emulation as a method of digital preservation. Emulation goes beyond
preserving a data file to recreating the digital environment in which the
file can be viewed or executed.
http://www.rlg.org/preserv/diginews/diginews5-4.html#feature2
* In the August 14 issue of the _Chronicle of Higher Education_ Goldie
Blumenstyk tells how the Cal State University System used its large size to
bargain for more advantageous terms with netLibrary. Normally e-books
purchased from netLibrary may be read read or "borrowed" by only one
library patron at a time. Under the new contract, about half of Cal
State's e-books from netLibrary may be borrowed by an unlimited number of
readers at once, and Cal State pays no more for this arrangement. The Cal
State director of e-book projects who negotiated the deal is named Evan Reader.
http://chronicle.com/free/2001/08/2001081401t.htm
* In the August 13 _Content Exchange_ Ethan Casey reports on how the
_Chronicle of Higher Education_ uses the web to supplement its print
publication.
http://www.content-exchange.com/cx/html/newsletter/3-6/oe3-6.htm
* In the August 10 _Chronicle of Higher Education_, Andrea Foster describes
the disagreement between David Touretzky and Michael Shamos, both on the CS
faculty at Carnegie Mellon. Touretzky is a leading critic of the DMCA and
publicizes source code for bypassing encryption on DVDs and ebooks. Shamos
is a computer scientist, former IP lawyer, and former teacher of Touretzky,
who believes that Touretzky's actions unlawfully undermine e-commerce. The
two were expert witnesses on the opposite sides of the DeCSS case and may
face each other again in the Edward Felten case.
http://chronicle.com/free/v47/i48/48a04501.htm
* In the July 24 issue of _Time Magazine_, Katherine Bonamici asks how
libraries will far in the digital age if they must make ongoing payments in
order to retain the rights to the e-books they "buy". Both publishers and
libraries are waiting for a study by the Copyright Office on just this
question --which was due last fall.
http://www.time.com/time/nation/printout/0,8816,168798,00.html
* The Duke University Digital Library Initiatives Task Group recently put
its report online. The group was charged to develop a 3-5 year vision
statement for digital library initiatives and to suggest strategies to
achieve the vision.
http://www.lib.duke.edu/dli/
* Sam Vaknin has posted a review of the DOI-EB to his growing collection of
articles on digital content. The DOI-EB is an initiative to apply digital
object identifiers (DOIs) to e-books (EB's). His review also functions as
a useful introduction to DOIs.
http://www.trendsiters.com/article1022.html
* Human Rights Watch reports that China has further tightened controls over
the internet. It calls on corporate sponsors of the 2008 Olympics in
Beijing to use their influence to improve freedom of expression in China.

Following up
* On June 22, the DC Court of Appeals awarded billions of dollars' worth of
radio spectrum to NextWave Telecom, Inc. NextWave made the highest bid for
them, but when it defaulted on its payments, the FCC took the spectrum
licenses back. The court ruled that the licenses still belonged to
NextWave, which was going through bankruptcy at the time of the
default. On August 6, the FCC decided to appeal this decision to the
Supreme Court. This is only FOS-related because if NextWave wins, it will
diminish the proceeds from the spectrum auction, and hence undermine the
very attractive Digital Promise Project (DPP). The DPP is a proposal to
set aside $18 billion from the spectrum auction for digital media and
digital content to improve American education. This is a tough one. On
the one hand, I want to see fairness for debtors in bankruptcy; on the
other, I want to see the DPP fully funded.

* Our July 3 issue described the precarious fate of PubScience after the
Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), a trade association of
for-profit publishers, lobbied Congress to stop government subsidies for
free online scholarship. The SIIA even persuaded a House appropriations
subcommittee to cut funding for PubScience and adopt the SIIA's rationale
as its own. Now, however, the Senate has rejected the House measure and
restored PubScience funding in its own recent spending bill. Next month the
House and Senate must agree on a final version of the bill.
