  2. Why Open Access/Creative Commons? • For much of the world, subscription-based information is inaccessible • For much of the world, textbooks are rare, expensive, and locked away • Do we write as an end in itself,or as a means to communication? • Author pays?Reader pays?Library pays?Low expenses – advertising pays?

  3. 6 Years in 6 Bullet Points • Ted, Cindy, and Friends • NSDL, ASDLib, Peer-reviewed Collections (absorption?) • Online Articles/JASDL/Student Posters: Original, peer-reviewed content • Spontaneous submissions • Stimulated submissions • Community-generated and supported modules

  4. Nightmares • > 1 submission/week • < 1 submission/month • Content with inadequate financial support • Support with inadequate content • Reality: slow flow, only 1 nightmare, adequate support, posters are popular • Can we achieve critical mass?

  5. Poster Presence • 20 posters in current poster session, representing 12 colleges/university and 2 national laboratories, with 3 countries (USA, China, Italy) included. • Additional 52 posters archived, viewable/searchable • Posters left in current session for one year, thenrotated into the archive. • Promotion: Treva Brown, Louisiana State University 2009 ASDL-ALA Young Scientist Poster Award 1270-3P Tu 10-12 AM

  6. Barriers to Collaborative Teaching and Learning • NIH (Not Invented Here) • Institutional and individual identity • Plagiarism vs. communal learning • Time allocation: content development takes timeGood content development takes much timeGreat content development takes student involvement

  7. Projects and Directions • “There’s a lot of good stuff on the web.” • Active learning and other innovative lecture / lab / independent study content • Textbooks and Labbooks: Rob Thompson, Forensic Science LaboratoryStan Manahan, Green ChemistryDavid Harvey, Analytical ChemistryExperimental Spectroscopy?

  8. Building on Modern Analytical Chemistry • What will be the nature of peer review? • Need for sustained stewardship • Database to support stewardship • Do production values matter? • Is Wikipedia the future of textbooks?

  9. The Unfilled Need – Merely a Shell

  10. Publish in JASDL • Best educational practices • Courseware: teaching modules, simulations, videos, projects • Labware: active learning, NOT cookbook. Guided Inquiry Learning • Student posters
