Information Liberation
Mar. 7, 2008 (Wall Street Journal) – If your child has a life-threatening disease and you're desperate to read the latest research, you'll be dismayed to learn that you can't – at least not without hugely expensive subscriptions to a bevy of specialized journals or access to a major research library.
