DIS Syllabus

I have invited ljordan@gmail.com to be able to post in this blog so that you can post links if you wish. I am posting the syllabus I have come up with for the DIS. As was discussed previously there is a dearth of peer reviewed articles on open source issues of freedom. I have tried to include information that comes from as reputable a source as possible where journal articles have been lacking. The first week's reading will examine issues of free access to information in libraries. The next three weeks focus on the inside 0f the digital world and the role open source is playing. By this point I should have developed some of the interactive project. There are several readings from well known professors that focus on laws and the freedom of society and technology. There were only a few journal articles that I could find that focus on this topic that FSU subscribes to. The last of the DIS would cover freedom of innovation and future scenarios.
