After reading everyone's comments this week, I would like to sum up this weeks topic on Wikibooks. First, I liked Brad's take on the evolution that is taking place between the printed book vs. the electronic book. That those of us who adapt ourselves to the new technologies that are rapidly evolving, we will survive, while those who choose not to, will not. I understand Audi's concerns about good research material being poste without the review process that takes place the old-fasioned way, but this process is not without it's mistakes also. Hopefully a satisfactory aggreement will be met with all parties involved. Like Heather I also know the politics behind the textbook industry and the fact that 2-3 states tend to controll what gets published and what does not, which of course is grossly wrong! These books are not infallible. In recent years we have heard of some of the major mistakes that have been found in these textbooks or how one-sided they can be on certain topics. The old-fasioned peer review process is not always perfect, but is anything? Wikibooks could the the perfect outlet for some small, but very good textbooks that can't compete in the big leagues because of the politics surrounding this industry. Like you Heather, I don't see the printed volume going the way of the doe-doe bird because of e-books, but lets use both in conjucntion with one another to learn the things we seek to learn.
