Introducing the Open Library of Humanities
by Abby Clobridge
While the open access (OA) movement has been moving at dizzying speeds for the past year, its strongest support from academia has been from the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) community. But a group of academics and OA supporters are aiming to change that through the Open Library of Humanities (OLH). Their aim is to build a "low cost, sustainable, Open Access future for the humanities." While the initiative is still in its early stages of development, it has moved at warp speed from informal conversations to grassroots support to a more organized effort and plan.

A Cyber War Is Brewing
by Paula J. Hane
At first, it just seemed to be a trickle of bad news. This company or another was the object of a cyberattack. Sometimes it was the hackers group with the ominous-sounding name, Anonymous, that was blamed. Then, Anonymous reportedly defaced the entire MIT website in revenge following the recent suicide of Aaron Swartz. It also hacked the Department of Justice Sentencing Commission website and threatened to launch "multiple warheads." This prompted me to do some digging. I found that hacking incidents seem to be much more pervasive—and serious—than I'd thought. The reports of cybersecurity breaches have grown more numerous in the last few years, and there have been a flood of security warnings recently.
