Bernard: Same thing happened about 5 years ago with the IBM J. of R&D and IBM Systems Journal—they got absorbed into the IEEE paywall system.

Hi
this seems to have some interesting history strands this year.
e.g. ) Histories of computing and the internet that focus on the experiences of people from marginalized social, economic, racial, or geographic groups

http://socialmediacollective.org/2014/11/22/its-msr-social-media-collective-2015-phd-intern-application-season/

(I'm just passing this on and don't have any deeper knowledge of the program)

Hi SIGCIS,

a grad student at the Humboldt University, Johannes Maibaum, writes:

/Two weeks ago, one was still able to access *all* articles from the
archive of the Bell System Technical Journal at the website of
Alcatel-Lucent. For example the classic ?Regeneration Theory? by Harry
Nyquist from 1932. Now, all links to articles from the archive generate
a 404 error. If looking for the archives at their website, one finds
this page://http://www.alcatel-lucent.com/bell-labs-journals//were
Alcatel-Lucent claims to be "proud to partner with IEEE to provide
access to Bell Labs? full journal archive". However, besides only a very
few articles (at least CE Shannons Mathematical Theory...) one has to
pay horrendous prices. Seriously, is this what Aaron Swartz died for?
Shouldn't the scientific community protest harshly against such a
locking away of once free knowledge?/

I think a few of you members have links to Lucent and to Bell Labs
archives. Any idea what's up with this? An oversight or is Lucent trying
to monetize these journal issues now? Archive.org still seems to have
free access, at least...

Best,
Bernard
