Seminar will focus on control information
Members of the KU community can participate in a day-long seminar today, "From Crisis to Reform; Scholarly Communications and the Tempe Principles," to discuss who should publish and control the publication terms of scholarly information.
Richard Fyffe, assistant dean for scholarly publications, said that rising
journal costs from the last decade were making it difficult for libraries to continue subscribing to scholarly publications, which means less publications are available for students and staff.
"The problem of rising costs is not one that librarians can solve themselves," Fyffe said. "We need to work collaboratively with the scholars to find solutions that work for all of us."
The Provost's Office and the KU Libraries will sponsor the seminar, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union. Interested participants can attend all or part of the seminar.
The seminar is open to the entire KU community including faculty, students and staff.

Gregory Lee Hunsucker II was booked into the Douglas County Jail at 1:14 p.m. Monday on suspicion of violating his probation.
Twentyyear-old Hunsucker, Lenexa, was a University of Kansas student in 1998 when he was accused of raping a female student in Ellsworth Hall. He was tried on the rape charge twice, in June and September 1999, and the trials ended with hung juries both times.

James Lasley, Moran junior, said he saw a Caucasian male run across the parking lot, jump a wall and then run up the hill toward Stevenson Scholarship Hall.
"I've seen people jog to their car because it's cold before but never at a dead sprint and jump a fence." Lasley said. "He acted really suspicious, looking around and behind him."

NASA hacker pleads guilty to invading computer systems
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A 20-year-old computer hacker pleaded guilty to federal charges of infiltrating sensitive computer systems, including those at Stanford University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Jason Allen Diekman of Mission Viejo, Calif. entered a written plea Monday after negotiating with prosecutors. Sentencing was set for Feb. 5.
Diekman was charged with illegal hacking and using stolen credit card numbers to buy more than $6,000 worth of stereo speakers, clothing and computer equipment.
Prosecutors said Diekman hacked into "hundreds, maybe thousands" of computers during a two-year period, compromising systems at UCLA, Harvard, Cornell, University of California, San
Diego, and California State Fullerton.
The most serious invasions were at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Stanford. The lab's two computers were broken into at the "root level," which gives an intruder the ability to create, delete or modify files and to alter security on the system.
Diekman, using the nickname Shadow Knight, also gained control of 24 computer systems at Stanford, including two owned by NASA that contained flight control software for the agency's satellites. He didn't disrupt NASA operations, prosecutors said.
Diekman was taken into federal custody in September and held without ball. He had been jailed in Orange County since August on unrelated charges.
