Tuesdays Newspick about youtube transcription could be ideal technically for transcribing things like theses .
1. just create a video with the mp3 as sound.
2. use script.
3. have transcript.

but would this be legal? do I have the right to do this, or does the mp3 come with restrictions. Or are there any in the youtube terms of service? Anyone knows?

Entire library journal editorial board resigns

Entire library journal editorial board resigns, citing 'crisis of conscience' (Aaron Swartz)
Taylor & Francis' final terms asked contributors to pay $2,995 for each open-access article.

Preposterous. Stupid. Pathetic. Revolting. Authors need to pay $3,000 to set their own creations free from the grasp of the publisher? Making big money from old style publishing (merely keeping a repository of information) is a dying business, and it's about time the publishers realized that. There is no value in withholding information, and it makes absolutely no sense at all to make scientists spend a large sum from their research grants just to give people free access to their work.

In the 1900's, journals were about the only way a researcher could get results published and spread to a wide international audience. Typesetting, printing and distribution was a problem in itself, and big publishers helped a lot with that. Indexing was a big deal that involved manual labor and cost a lot of money. Publishers provided a useful service and could charge quite a lot for it. I did research in the 1990's, and I was OK with the system back then. Now, not so much.

You would think that a publisher would at least take a step back and think hard about what they are doing when they make it their main business not to publish information to make it known to a wider audience, but to withhold information and restrict its visibility to a narrow audience of people who pay for accessing it.

The world has changed a lot in the last couple of decades. Publishers, it seems, have not, and they will suffer for it.
