Los fundamentos del libro y la edición
Nunca en la historia ha existido un momento más importante para la creación y la transmisión de conocimiento. Por un lado, las tecnologías de la comunicación posibilitan transformaciones antes inimaginables, que el mundo del libro y la edición aprovechan para hacer lo que mejor saben: situarse a la cabeza de las innovaciones. Por otro lado, jamás ha habido una proliferación equiparable de estudios y análisis sobre la edición y el libro en todas sus formas, lo que nos permite reflexionar sobre el modo en que se produce esta revolución para la que no existen precedentes. Esta obra es el mejor ejemplo de dicha reflexión. Desde distintos puntos de vista, desde diversas disciplinas y ...

Open Access and the Humanities
If you work in a university, you are almost certain to have heard the term 'open access' in the past couple of years. You may also have heard either that it is the utopian answer to all the problems of research dissemination or perhaps that it marks the beginning of an apocalyptic new era of 'pay-to-say' publishing. In this book, Martin Paul Eve sets out the histories, contexts and controversies for open access, specifically in the humanities. Broaching practical elements alongside economic histories, open licensing, monographs and funder policies, this book is a must-read for both those new to ideas about open-access scholarly communications and those with an already keen interest in the latest developments for the humanities. This title is also available as Open Access via Cambridge Books Online.
The Google Generation
The Google Generation examines original and secondary research evidence from international sources to determine whether there is a younger generation of learners who are adopting different styles of information search behaviour from older generations as a function of their patterns of use of online technologies. The book addresses the questions: might the widespread availability and use of search engines, such as Google, give rise to a different type of scholar who seeks out and utilises online information sources and thereby develops a different orientation to learning from older generations whose information seeking practices became established initially in the offline world. - Provides a one of the most comprehensive analyses yet on the evolving nature of information search behaviour - Combines a review of a wide range of international research evidence combined with original, cutting edge research - Directed towards industry end-users and policy makers as well as academics with shared scholarly interests
