** PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY **
The increasing privatization of knowledge is changing our society in important ways, but for the benefit of very few.
Of interest are essays that deal with current challenges, and promising alternatives, in specific sectors such as (but not limited to) farming and food, computer software, medicine, media, arts, and libraries. Essays dealing with, for example, traditional knowledge, economics, or the historical context of this issue are also welcome.
The essays are being collected for a volume inspired by the “Free Knowledge” event held at the University of Regina on November 17 and 18, 2005. Contributions need not be Saskatchewan-specific. The finished manuscript will be available on the web, through a creative commons license, and it is also hoped to have it published in print.
Interested authors should contact Daryl Hepting, c/o Department of Computer Science, University of Regina, Regina, SK, S4S 0A2, Canada (e-mail daryl.hepting@uregina.ca) as soon as possible. Manuscripts should be approximately 20 double-spaced pages, not including references. One or more external referees will review each submission. Authors are invited to make suggestions about suitable referees. Deadline for manuscripts is April 30, 2008, with an expected publication date in the Spring of 2009.
