Danke für den Hinweis, Herr Delin!


Noch ein Zitat aus dem Artikel:

"
Yes, we must digitize. But more important, we must democratize. We must 
open access to our cultural heritage. How? By rewriting the rules of the 
game, by subordinating private interests to the public good, and by 
taking inspiration from the early republic in order to create a Digital 
Republic of Learning.
"
