MiraCosta professor goes with free books for class
,----[ Quote ]
| If there is one enduring truth about college
| students it is that they are usually broke ----
| and the way business professor Christina Hata
| sees it, she ought to do something to help them
| save money when possible.
|
| [...]
|
| For the second consecutive year, Hata has used
| free "open-source" textbooks in place of a $180
| hardbound book as the main texts in her Small
| Business Management course at MiraCosta
| College.
|
| Open-source textbooks are electronic copies of
| books that can be downloaded from specialized
| Internet Web sites that are dedicated to making
| education more affordable.

Koha Optimistic That Forked Tree -- And Troubles -- Are History
,----[ Quote ]
| Koha developers, contributors, and users
| might sum up the past year with a bastardized
| comic book tag line: "With great adoption
| comes great growing pains." Many now,
| however, hope the worst of it is ready to be
| shelved away.
|
| Koha, incidentally, was my first introduction
| to how great the open source developer
| community is. I was installing it on my home
| machine -- to see how it stacked up, and to
| file away for a later date when licenses were
| begging for renewal. While I wasn't someone
| with much say in renewing proprietary
| licenses on the consortia level, I was very
| impressed with how Koha worked. I was more
| impressed, however, when I pondered aloud on
| my personal site why I was having such a
| problem with a Perl script, that then-release
| manager Chris Cormack left a suggestion in my
| comments as to where things were going wrong.
