I have refrained from involving myself in L' Affaire Gorman II, the debate about Michael Gorman's remarks in his blog posts, Web 2.0: the sleep of reason and The siren song of the Internet, because I'm not sure what I can add and in any case T.Scott Plutchak says it far better than I could.
For the earlier controversy, see here: http://tomroper.typepad.com/tr/2005/03/michael_gorman.html
Today the Times Higher Education Supplement has got wind of it, and runs an article on page 2, with comments from Jenny Fry of the Oxford Internet Institute, Will Murray of JISC's Plagiarism Advisory Service, Nicola Pratt of UEA, Ben Fairweather of De Montfort and Andrew Keen. They don't quote any of Michael Gorman's professional peers, that is to say librarians.
It's not online yet, and much of the THES content is subscriber-only, but perhaps it will be available tomorrow.
