... students say they want video podcasts, or failing that audio, of their lecturers. They don’t want less personal contact with teaching staff, but they want to be able to catch up with lectures on a video iPod on the train.

Course management:a reductive comparison
Virtual learning environments : using, choosing and developing your VLE by Martin Weller
“The relationship between VLEs and library systems reflects the changes in practice and internal politics wrought by the advent of e-learning perhaps more than any of the other systems. There is a sense in which the very identity of libraries and their function in the educational process is at stake.” [p. 67]
Redundant
• "At one extreme the need for a library becomes superfluous - at its simplest this might be categorized as 'I've got Google, what do I need a library for?'" [p. 67]
• Necessary materials are loaded into the VLE, and it points to other resources out on the open web.
Central
• The library mediates access to content within the VLE, providing value in selection, purposing to particular tasks, metasearch and so on.

Limited aggregation of supply at network level:Fragmented discoveryManagement data not usedHigh transaction costs – find it/get itFragmented inventory/shipping
But the global library resource is diffused across thousands of locations …
Leads to weak gravitational pull and low network visibility for libraries and library collections
Limited aggregation of demand at network level:Difficult to mobilize a large number of usersNot projected into user environmentsWeak brand

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients.
Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.
Herbert Simon

For many years, Chinese people cited a proverb: if the wine smells really wonderful, customers will come in spite of the length of the lane.
