Well, whether materials should be free or not, I think that OUP books (to say nothing of electronic materials) are horrible over-priced,and they are not very well proof read or copy edited, either. I quit buying UP books about 15 years ago....if I need one, I can find it either in my college library or through Inter Library Loan....I hope some day one will be able to et CDROMs, DVD,s, whatever, the same way. My school has a contract with Microsoft that allows all faculty, staff, and students to get Office for nothing -- why can't we develop the same situation with CDs ?
