Misprism

An update of the expanding universe of open access from Heather Morrison, a Canadian librarian whose blog deserves an award for its name:

The Imaginary Journal of Poetic Economics
Imagine a world where anyone can instantly access all of the world's scholarly knowledge - as profound a change as the invention of the printing press. Technically, this is within reach. All that is needed is a little imagination, to reconsider the economics of scholarly communications from a poetic viewpoint.

Early figures are from my preprint, The Dramatic Growth of Open Access: Implications and Opportunities for Resource Sharing, Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve, 16, 3 (2006), and my updates:

March 31, 2006 Update.
June 30, 2006 Update.
September 2006 Update.
Dramatic Growth December 2006 & Predictions for 2007
Dramatic Growth March 2007 Update & Open Data Edition
Dramatic Growth June 2007 Update

On the other hand, the comment thread about the utter idiocy of Prism has grown considerably.
