The death of Aaron Swartz and the more recent controversy around the SciHub and Libgen repositories have drawn attention to the question of access to knowledge, particularly for students facing financial and other constraints. Open access currently provides a very limited answer to this question, which piracy answers more comprehensively. This edited volume explores how access to knowledge has changed in the past twenty years, as student populations have boomed and as educators and publishers navigated the transition from paper to digital materials. It is concerned primarily with the experience of developing countries, where growing numbers of students, rapid development of Internet and device infrastructures, and high relative inequality have produced the sharpest tensions in the publishing and educational ecosystem.Scholarly publishingEconomic aspectsDeveloping countriesScholarly electronic publishingDeveloping countriesPiracy (Copyright)Developing countriesIntellectual property infringementEconomic aspectsDeveloping countriesCopyrightElectronic information resourcesDeveloping countriesPhotocopyingDeveloping countriesOpen access publishingDeveloping countriesCommunication in learning and scholarshipTechnological innovationsDeveloping countriesEducation, HigherDeveloping countriesINFORMATION SCIENCE/Library ScienceINFORMATION SCIENCE/GeneralScholarly publishingEconomic aspectsScholarly electronic publishingPiracy (Copyright)Intellectual property infringementEconomic aspectsCopyrightElectronic information resourcesPhotocopyingOpen access publishingCommunication in learning and scholarshipTechnological innovationsEducation, Higher070.5Karaganis JoeOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910306640503321Shadow Libraries3361059UNINA
