The video of Professor Dan Cohen’s wonderful closing session “The Ivory Tower and the Open Web” is now available on both Youtube (at http://www.youtube.com/cnivideo ) and Vimeo (at http://vimeo.com/channels/cni ).

You can also find a copy of his presentation at http://www.cni.org/tfms/2010b.fall/cni_ivory_cohen.pdf

This is an extremely wide-ranging presentation that I think will be of interest to almost everybody in the CNI community; I know that a number of people who saw the talk live told me that it was so rich, and thought provoking in so many different ways, that they were eager to have a chance to watch it again. Many others were eager to share it with colleagues and students.

A must-see.
