Remember back in the day when journals were the most up to date information that you could get. I’ve been cleaning up my Google reader and I find that when I’m going through posts that I skip right over the journals.
*gasp*
I know I’m a librarian and I’m supposed to understand the value of peer reviewed literature, but here is what I don’t value…the slow moving peer review committees. Honestly most of the articles are completely out of date or complete fodder. For example in my reader I saw an article: How and why do college students use Wikipedia? Now no offense to the author but here is the reason: the information is easily accessible and the information libraries provide is not. Kind of like how I feel about journals.
