UKOLN Contribution to THE Article on “All about me, dot com”
Thursday, August 19th, 2010Brian Kelly was featured in an article published in the Time Higher Education entitled All about me, dot com.

Brian made the point that “universities may lose access to material, such as posted lecture notes, if academics are operating outside the university domain.
