Gavin Baker at Open Access News has a new post on Scholas, which acts as a file-sharing service for academics. Users can list their works on the site, license them with Creative Commons and access them via a shortened URL (e.g. http://schol.as/9I-3UJV82). From Scholas “About” page:
Scholas is a service that enables academics to list their publications and share work quickly and easily via the web. This can be a list of existing publications including journal articles, books etc. As well as any other items, such as research notes, presentations, posters and data-sets.
