| | Robert A. Baron, Digital Fever: A Scholar's Copyright Dilemma |
 | | Evidence of the unique status society bestows upon scholars and men in the arts and humanities may be had, ironically, in the tradition of ridicule and satire that Western culture sometimes uses to caricature scientists and humanists by placing them outside of the domain of the daily economy of living. |
 | | Today, the residue of the scholars' traditional persona manifests itself as a belief that there is a scholastic warrant freely to access and use resources germane to a chosen enterprise -- for this enterprise is not done for the benefit of self, but rather for the good of the discipline. |
 | | Scholars, especially those in the humanities, are being asked to plant their feet in two isolated worlds that cannot together coexist: one is in the past, the other, in the present. |
