The document discusses the conflicting pressures facing universities and argues they may be caught in a double bind. It outlines pressures to publish research while also connecting through the web, and to adopt new models like MOOCs while maintaining traditional practices. Universities also face pressures to support students but balance budgets. Performance indicators are used to enforce contradictions and shape university identity around measured factors. This systemic double bind may lead universities to exploit the system, become incoherent, find creative solutions, or spur the creation of alternatives. The best question for universities is to redefine their purpose given changes, but the double bind may prohibit that questioning.

The document discusses resource discovery through social means such as writing blog posts, chatting with colleagues, listening to people, and sharing resources using popular networked services. It provides examples of how writing blog posts attracts relevant comments and links, and how Twitter can be used to find examples related to a talk. The conclusion is that social resource discovery is natural, requires little effort, allows the use of popular services, and helps the community.
