Transforming e-Knowledge: A Revolution in the Sharing of Knowledge by Donald M. Norris (US), Jon Mason (AU), and Paul Lefrer (UK) http://www.transformingeknowledge.info <- full text on line here This is a beautiful, 2-color, 164-page book which is designed in such a way as to use a lot of graphics and color to lighten and guide the reader through some fairly dense information. In the Foreword, Diana Laurillard of the Open University says of the book: "We cannot predict the future, but we do sense that we have the power to shape it. So we need to take time to reflect: on what those possible futures are, which are the more desirable, and what it takes to realise them. The authors of this book set out to help us with that process. On every page you will find them striving to express the ways in which e-systems can be exploited, the benefits they could yield, and what we all, individuals and organisations together, must now do." With the collaboration of groups like Australia.edu, EDUCAUSE, the NLII, and more, over the next month or two, approximately 10,000 copies of the book will arrive in the hands of readers in a variety of channels, mostly in North America, but also in Europe and Australasia. So we think it will be much read and discussed.
