"Re: Change or Die: Scholarly E-Mail Lists, Once Vibrant, Fight for
Relevance #2" [Hake (2009c)].
The abstract reads:
************************************
ABSTRACT: Jeffrey Young in his "Chronicle of Higher Education" report
"Change or Die: Scholarly E-Mail Lists, Once Vibrant, Fight for
Relevance," investigated the validity of historian T. Mills Kelly's
argument that the "time of scholarly e-mail lists has passed as
professors migrate to blogs, wikis, Twitter, and social networks like
Facebook." Young concludes, on the contrary, that email lists remain
"a key tool that just about everyone opens every day. As long as
that's true, the trusty e-mail list will be valuable to scholars of
all stripes." Young's conclusion is consistent with (a) "Academic
Discussion Lists: Faculty Lounges, Collective Short-Term Working
Memories, Or Academic Journals?" [Hake (2009a)]; (b) "Over
Two-Hundred Education & Science Blogs" [Hake (2009b)]; and (c) "Over
Sixty Academic Discussion Lists: List Addresses and URL's for
Archives & Search Engines" [Hake (2007)]. I have copied Young's
valuable essay into the OPEN! archives of AERA-L.
