Educators as “Grinches”

Jenna McWilliams has a new blog post on convincing educators to share. McWilliams suggests that some forms of sharing are more innovative than others, and suggests Facebook and Flickr as lacking in that regard. From the blog post:

The problem is that there are enough academics who subscribe to the “share your toys but take them back when you’re done playing” approach to research that anybody who embraces the free-appropriation model of scholarship ends up getting every toy stolen and has to go home with an empty bag.
