Enjoy the paper on The Emerging Scholarly Brain by Michael J. Kurtz.  He invented the Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System ADS in 1993 which astronomers use worldwide as their primary bibliographic research tool.  The above paper is looking into the near future of how data may be used and distributed leading to collective thinking – the global brain.

For full disclosure – he is my husband and also Next Stage Solution’s Clerk!
