Phase II continued: Audience Attitudes/Expectations


  • Content must be findable online (or else it doesn't exist)
  • At least part of it must be free
  • Content is what is read, regardless of container
  • Paper is just another container, with particular advantages for some purposes
  • Content itself is less highly valued, there being so much of it
  • CD-ROMs are despised as e-content -- "why isn't it online"?
