I routinely tell my students, if they miss class and ask a buddy for notes, they’d better offer cash. And the supplier students had better value their work and demand payment. To me it’s basic fairness. If it doesn’t cost you time and effort to get the notes, it should at least cost $$, and it should reward the time and effort of the classmate generous enough to share the fruit of such labor. --morris

Indiana U. Libraries Publish an E-Journal

The Indiana University at Bloomington Libraries group has announced the publication of its first open-access online journal, Museum Anthropology Review. The journal was founded and is edited by Jason Baird Jackson, an ethnographer at the university. He also is the editor of the journal Museum Anthropology, which is published by the American Anthropological Association and Wiley-Blackwell.

Mr. Jackson said it was particularly important for scholars in fields like folklore and anthropology to disseminate their research in open-access journals so that the research subjects, their families, and their communities can read what has been written about them.—Andrea L. Foster

1. I am appreciative of the Chronicle for noting the launch of Museum Anthropology Review as an open access journal project of the IUB Libraries. It is important to note that I will remain the editor of the AAA/Wiley-Blackwell journal Museum Anthropology through 2009, when my term as editor was always slated to conclude. I have the honor, for the moment, of stewarding both of these journal projects. I also appreciate the many scholars and librarians who are supporting both efforts so vigorously.

2. As an IU alumnus, ’70 Germanic languages, I have to say how gratifying it is to see something positive and directly associated with scholarship coming out of Bloomington these days. All the recent talk has been about athletic buyouts—because that’s what some people think IU is about. IU is not quite yet, in fact, Southern Indiana Sports Inc., but sometimes it takes stories like this to remind us that there’s actually a university underneath all that football and basketball. Good for you, Mr. Jackson, and may your project prosper.

3. Thank you Mr. Kirklin for your words of encouragement. The libraries at IUB, in particular, are a real center of good news for IU as a whole.
