This podcasts based around the world of textbook publishing, specifically for Flat World Knowledge.  Three types of publishing were specifically discussed; open licensing, online access, and print-on-demand.  In a business education classroom information is changing so frequently and published in such volumes that it is impossible to acquire it all; both from a time and financial standpoint.  Allowing virtual access to text books versus purchasing 100 copies of one text, resolves both conflicts.  This will also be useful when students are completing individual assignments and will need access to multiple sources.
