Thanks very much for this link and referral to this new blog. I liked Waters’ statement very much, enough to add a comment of my own. The discussion is worth following and continuing.

Dan,

Thanks for posting these links. This is probably a good place to mention that Blake Stimson (Art History)will post a link to our HSSGIS blog on a course site on Smartsite. Blake is teaming with John Hall (Sociology) to co-teach a Winter Quarter class on the current crisis at the UC and in higher education, “Public Higher Ed at the Crossroads.” Further info from jrhall@ucdavis.edu or bstimson@ucdavis.edu.

Thanks for the clarification Sigi. I’ll make sure to direct people to the project during our upcoming Open Access Week, Oct 19-23, 2009.

Thanks for this shoutout, David. Just a quick word of clarification for your readers: Open Humanities Press is an international scholar-led initiative and is not affiliated with the University of Michigan, although we have recently partnered with the University of Michigan Library’s Scholarly Publishing Office to publish open access monographs.

Comment on Anthropology 152: Human Evolution by Michael Winter

Where there is blogging, there is spamming–My colleague Dan Goldstein just pointed out to me that the two comments received thus far to this post containing a handout from a library instruction session I recently did for a class in Human Evolution appear to be spam. Follow the links to shenjing and shenji and they take you to a website selling athletic shoes! Come to think of it, the two comments did seem to be rather generic, and didn’t make any specific references to content of the class.

So if anyone from the class has any question about the material, I reiterate that I’d be glad to work with you. But I’m not currently in the market for shoes.

I just got back to campus today and I found your two comments. Thanks very much for your kind replies. I am especially glad to hear that you have found the Anthropology 152 blog entry useful for the class. If you have any questions, I’d be glad to try and offer you further help with the material.
