		Hoiberg is certainly more traditional in his views, clearly suggesting that accuracy is more important than anything else.
		Hoiberg's arguments regarding community are perhaps the most indicative of academic arguments in this circle.
		Surprising though it might seem, Hoiberg, too, believes that his encyclopedia is produced by a community.

	About Gen-P (or "Jimbo lays the smacks down on Dale Hoiberg") - The Jason Calacanis Weblog
		It's clear to anyone reading the debate that Jimbo has the highground because the wikipedia process of creating entries is more transparent and open than the process of creating EB entries.
		Dale Hoiberg comes across as a steward of truth to old people and as the last of dying breed/paradigm to young people.
		My guess is Dale will not be charge of Britanniaca for much longer and they will replace him with someone who understands the new paradigm.

	FeatureXpress - Online News Distribution
		"Students who don't have good reference works at home are at a disadvantage," says Dale Hoiberg.
		Falling prices and new technologies have made them more exciting and less expensive than in the past.
		Every home should have four essential reference works, either in print or digital form: an encyclopedia, a dictionary, a thesaurus and an atlas.

		Musings on open cultures with a focus on web 2.0, open source, social media, online communities, and innovation.
		Wales: “We believe that encyclopedias should not be locked up under the control of a single organization, but a part of the healthy dialog of a free society.”

	Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Corporate Site
		While the group’s principal focus will be on Britannica’s digital and print encyclopedias, it will also ponder the role of the encyclopedia and knowledge generally in today’s world and contribute to the broader public discussion of these issues.
		At a time when vast quantities of questionable information are available on the Internet and elsewhere, rigorous and reliable reference works are more important than ever, said Hoiberg.
		One motive behind the board’s creation was to maintain the high standards of the Britannica while making sure it remains relevant to the way people use information today.

		Britannica also said it was rebuffed in its repeated attempts to obtain from Nature the original data on which the study's conclusions were based.
		"This study has been cited all over the world, and it's invalid," said Dale Hoiberg, Britannica's editor-in-chief.
		"The thing for Nature to do now is to issue a full, public retraction of the study and the article in which it was reported," said Hoiberg.

	[No title]
		After publishing on the Internet and via CD-ROM for almost a decade, Chicago-based Encyclopædia Britannica has for the first time since 1998 issued a revised printing of its encyclopedia set, which sells for a pricey $1,295.
		Though the cost is far steeper than the company's subscription-based service for all the same information online ($7.95 per month or $50 per year), the reason for the revised set is reborn demand for holding and touching a book, according to editor Dale Hoiberg.
		"Computers are great, but many people still love the feel of paper and ink between two covers," Hoiberg said.

	Rough Sort: September 12, 2006
		At one point, Wales criticizes Britannica because it "doesn't display its rough drafts, or the articles before being checked by a copy editor." Counters Hoiberg: "No, we don't publish rough drafts.
		We want our articles to be correct before they are published." Hoiberg's final comment, in which he draws on the work of the great technology critic Lewis Mumford, is worth pausing on:
		Long before the Web, Lewis Mumford predicted that the explosion of information could "bring about a state of intellectual enervation and depletion hardly to be distinguished from massive ignorance." Not only would lots of information fail to make us smarter; it would actually make us dumber by overwhelming us.
