Law professors from around the country gathered in Seattle on Saturday to put the printed textbook on trial. That about 40 people gathered on a sunny Saturday to ponder life beyond print shows that times are changing in publishing. The daylong discussion educed topics ranging from cerebral musings — could information proliferation make lawyers obsolete? — to technical nuance — what’s the difference between open source and open access?

Information might want to be free, but that doesn’t mean the editors at Encyclopedia Britannica plan to let it run roughshod. While acknowledging its need to step into modern times, Britannica also is holding fast to the idea that experts make it better. You may not know this, but Albert Einstein wore an editor’s hat at Encyclopedia Britannica, as did George Bernard Shaw and more than 80 Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners. But it’s that other encyclopedia, the online one, where vandals and anonymous editors allegedly run rampant, that’s been getting all the attention lately. As hyped as Wikipedia may be, it’s hard to deny that an open source information repository that gets updated several thousand times a second is well suited to present times. I’m talking about an era defined by two phrases: instant gratification and user-generated. So where does a 240-year-old encyclopedia like Britannica fit in today? How does it face up to the criticism that it is expensive to access, closed and outdated? For starters, by being accessible, collaborative and continuously updated.

The Internet gives scientists and researchers instant access to an astonishing number of academic journals. So what is the impact of having such a wealth of information at their fingertips? The answer, according to new research released today in the journal Science, is surprising–scholars are actually citing fewer papers in their own work, and the papers they do cite tend to be more recent publications. This trend may be limiting the creation of new ideas and theories.

With the market for electronics books still relatively sleepy, Sony Corp. is trying a new tack: untethering the latest model of its e-book reading device from its own online bookstore. On Thursday, Sony will provide a software update to the Reader, a thin slab with a 6-inch screen, so the device can display books encoded in a format being adopted by several large publishers. That means Reader owners will be able to buy electronic books from stores other than Sony’s.

College students, already struggling with soaring tuition bills and expenses, are encountering yet another financial hit: Publishers and schools are working together to produce “custom” textbooks that can limit students’ use of the money-saving trade in used books. And in a controversial twist, some academic departments are sharing in the profits from these texts.

Digital content services provider Ingram Digital has announced a new survey of e-book users conducted by its Education Solutions unit. The survey is seen to confirm the top three factors driving a surge in adoption of digital textbooks that led Ingram’s January-May sales to surpass 2007 results by more than 400 percent. Data from the survey’s 680 respondents revealed that when deciding whether to purchase a digital title, 47 percent believe that ‘cost in relation to print copies’ is very important. A similar proportion of respondents identified the convenience of e-books and interactive features as also being very important.

Joseph J. Esposito, an independent consultant focusing on digital media, looks at how the market determines publishing strategies and business models in “Open Access 2.0: Access to Scholarly Publications Moves to a New Phase.” The less a reader knows about a field, the more he needs the mediation of a publisher, and the less useful open access may be, Esposito writes.

Long a standard reference source for scholarship, largely because of its tightly controlled editing, the Encyclopaedia Britannica announced this week it was throwing open its elegantly-bound covers to the masses. It will allow the “user community” (in the words of the encyclopedia’s blog) to contribute their own articles, which will be clearly marked and run alongside the edited reference pieces.

Social networking and other Web 2.0 technologies led the social whirl of the information industry. Publishers and librarians tried to keep their products and services relevant by mixing authoritative content with user involvement, but that wasn’t enough. Enhancing interfaces, adding new forms of content, and making strategic acquisitions—all are necessary to ensure that the information industry party continues.

Plenty of professors are thinking about ways of introducing alternatives to traditional textbooks that they or their students deem too pricey. Some are involved in efforts to create material that is online, free and open source in design. A new effort announced Monday aims to help this movement grow at community colleges. As Judy Baker, dean of the distance learning program at the Foothill-De Anza Community College District, sees it, not enough people are focusing on compiling content tailored to two-year college students. “We have more economic and racial diversity than the normal population, so it’s even more important for content to be culturally relevant and meaningful,” Baker said. “It’s important for faculty to be able to localize the information, and because our students are not always as prepared for a college-level textbook that comes from the publishers, we need to provide supplemental information.”

More than four months after Amazon.com released the Kindle, no one is sure whether the latest e-book reader is really hot _ or not. But publishers believe that the Kindle has helped, if not revolutionized, the tiny electronic market. Amazon.com has received extensive media coverage since unveiling the Kindle on the Monday before Thanksgiving and announcing that the first run had sold out within a few hours. Amazon.com has declined to give sales figures for the Kindle _ at least 2,000, judging from the number of customer reviews _ but has said repeatedly that supply is not keeping up with demand, with the device often out of stock.
