Reflecting patterns evident in past Janet Doe lectures, the 2004 address draws on the foundations of biology to provide a model that offers insights into the advent of electronic publications and choices for the future.
The lecture sketches a picture of the fragile relationships found in complex ecosystems and illustrates how such interdependencies function in the environment of the coral reef.
Deriving lessons from the marine world, the lecture then shifts to a description of similarities in the realm of scholarly publishing, the impact of digital innovations in the marketplace, and the controversies and choices inherent in open access publications.
Lessons from ecology and publishing lead to the conclusion that librarians must take action and risks in this time of dramatic environmental change.
2004年的演讲借鉴了过去珍妮特·多伊讲座中明显的模式,以生物学为基础,提供了一个模型,有助于深入了解电子出版物的出现以及未来的选择。
该讲座勾勒出复杂生态系统中脆弱关系的图景,并说明了这种相互依存关系在珊瑚礁环境中的运作方式。
讲座从海洋世界中汲取经验教训,然后转向描述学术出版领域的相似之处、数字创新在市场中的影响以及开放获取出版物中固有的争议和选择。
生态学和出版领域的经验教训得出结论,在这个环境急剧变化的时代,图书馆员必须采取行动并承担风险。
