Another revolution is needed, says Cathy

18. While industries such as
music, newspapers, film and publishing
have seen radical changes in their
business models and practices as a
ZWAbas 26 June 2012
direct result of new technologies, higher
education has so far resisted the
wholesale changes we have seen elsewhere.
However, a gradual and fundamental shift
Knowledge@USM
Creating and Widening Access to
in the practice of academics is taking
place. Every aspect of scholarly practice is
seeing changes effected by the adoption and
possibilities of new technologies.
This book will explore these changes, their
implications for higher education, the
possibilities for new forms of scholarly practice
and what lessons can be drawn from other
18
sectors.
