Seeking Honorable Mention
Inside Higher Ed, August 19, 2010
The Community College Baccalaureate Association's announcement this summer that it would affiliate with the Golden Key International Honor Society seemed like the happy ending to a Goldilocks-style story. After having been spurned by one honor society for being too much like two-year institutions and another for being too much like four-year universities, the bachelor-degree granting community colleges seemed finally to have found a society that was "just right."

Can You Hear Me Now?
Inside Higher Ed, August 19, 2010
As a professor, how do you get dropout-prone college students to stay in school? Give them your cell phone number. How do you get professors to promptly field text messages, calls and e-mails from students? Buy them smartphones and pay for the service plan.

Open Access and the Library's Missing Mission
Inside Higher Ed (blog), August 18, 2010
Dorothea Salo has an interesting post at the Book of Trogool. She wonders about the mission of academic libraries, and about one paradox in particular: Can libraries support the open access movement by reallocating funds from paying for content to providing support for open access publications, or does that somehow go against the library's mission to support its local clientele?
