       Robert C. Binkley on the channels of scholarly communication, 1938: "The essence of all these procedures is communication from writer to reader, whether the communication be immediate or deferred, to one reader or to many, to known persons or to persons unknown ... There are indeed some property tenures vested at different points along these channels of communication. They are like the tolls along the river, some of them necessary to keep the channel open, some of them functionally piratical."

       (continues) "But in general it can be said that thoughts are still of all things in the world the most nearly free, that most of the written texts upon which thought is recorded are freely disclosed to those who would examine them, and that people who hold ideas worthy of expression feel rather an urge to express them and share them than to withhold them from the world."
