[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to mention whatever is taught here can be found on internet. Just today I was reading papers from both ZTH and Cornell. Knowledge is quite commoditized.[/quote]

Even before the internet era, anyone can read papers from ZTH, Cornell and for that matter any other institution. Just go to academic libraries that subscribe to the journals, just like accessing it electronically.[/quote]
Most don’t work this way anymore and require an institutional affiliation to do such. They’re paying hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to get access to these journals. It wouldn’t make sense to give it to the public.

Access to scientific information is actually getting worse over time due to the academic publishing industry.  Arxiv is one of the few organizations fighting this mess.[/quote]

Accessing peer-reviewed journals electronically also requires academic affiliation, no different than physical paper access at library. That's the point.[/quote]
