In the article, Lloyd calls the arxiv an example how <I>open science also has the potential to prevent discrimination in access to information.</I>, and I completely agree with that.<BR/><BR/>What I wanted to say is that this "discrimination in access" was more because of practical constraints and the technological means of the pre-web era than stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495628046446378453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-85832703264713422112008-09-04T08:19:00.000-04:002008-09-04T08:19:00.000-04:00Michael: You don't have to post as 'Anonymous'.

If you were at Harvard, that culture worked well. Too bad if you weren't at a major University, though.<BR/><BR/>Michael NielsenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-35348157336219075242008-09-02T18:28:00.000-04:002008-09-02T18:28:00.000-04:00Dear Bee,thanks for the link, that's an interestin...Dear Bee,<BR/><BR/><BR/>thanks for the link, that's an interesting article!<BR/><BR/>However, I'm not sure if one can say that, for example, the arxiv enforces or is creating a new openness that hasn't existed before.
