[TOS] request for references on open source and creative commons in academia

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Bonnie,

This book may help:

"Opening Up Education"
"The Collective Advancement of Education through
Open Technology, Open Content, and Open Knowledge"

Edited by Toru Iiyoshi and M. S. Vijay Kumar

http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=11309

(This is more along the alley of open access and courseware).


If your Dean's interest is more along the lines of
"how to incorporate Open Source into academic
work", I'll be happy to dig other materials for you.


    Best,


        Luis
