The Great Digitization Or The Great Betrayal? (Techdirt)
One of the great tasks facing humanity today is digitizing the world’s books
and liberating the huge stores of knowledge they contain. The technology is
there – scanners are now relatively fast and cheap – but the legal framework
is struggling to keep up. That can be seen in the continuing uncertainty

world’s cultural traditions. While parts of the Library’s manuscript
collections have already been published in print, microfilm and digital
formats, we are now building a substantial online resource so that our
collections can be much more accessible to students, researchers and the wider
public.

The Freehand Technique: Open the Door to New Rhythmic Possibilies [VHS] The Freehand Technique is more than just a one-handed roll.
