  The Battle to Define the Future of the Book in the Digital World
Digital books cover a wide spectrum of material, ranging from literal translations of printed books, created by scanning pages or generating a PDF file, to complex digital works that are the intellectual successors of certain genres of book-length works, but which cannot be reasonably converted back into printed form.
The Digital Dilemma uses the metaphor of music as the canary in the digital coal mine; it argues that what happens to the music industry may be a bellwether for the broader array of intellectual property industries in the digital world.
To the extent that digital books are important works of scholarship, libraries - particularly research libraries - have little alternative but to purchase access for their patrons, though in cases where there is a print equivalent to the e-book they may choose to acquire the printed work instead (or in addition).

 Rockwell: Multimedia, Is it a Discipline?
This founding moment of rupture with the surrounding disciplines should not be overlooked, nor should the dangers inherent in the defining of a field that happens through formalization in educational structures.

This will be the contribution of the digital humanities – a reorientation to craft and creative art in the humanities.

 the complete GLENN GASLIN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
BY POPULAR DEMAND, I've put The Adventures of Ken & Glenn back online.
The background on this misshapen, oddly beautiful mid-'90s Internet artifact is posted here, and then you might wanna head into the Archive, FAQ or a couple of highlights, say, the ones about Gwar, minimarts, the symphony or Lord Wedgewood.
Also: Ken has a new book coming out this fall, Hollywood Hussein, and you really should start getting excited about it now.
