Publishers want to be paid for e-reserves now. Because library’s have so much money, right?
If the current lecture method of teaching doesn’t work very well (And most people I know agree that it doesn’t.), education will most likely be evolving in the next 10-20 years toward a more interactive model where the discussion between the teacher and the students is as important as cramming their heads with facts. With the text publishers more interested in recycling content in new editions for more maney than actually improving their works (bitter from college texts, nah) or putting some imagination in their materials and the copyrights getting so tight no one else can do it for them. Are they on the way to the same problems the music industry is having? And will it be worse, effecting education?
