 We all interact with information at work every day, possibly every second. One of the guiding principles of the Web 2.0 era is to enable users to interact with content the way they prefer - online, mobile, or even print.
When we launched our FUMSI website in January, we partnered with service provider iCopyright to enable users to interact with the articles in our database. Users can easily save, email or print a copy of any article for free (thanks to our FUMSI sponsors), and they can even purchase instant licences to reuse or redistribute the content according to their users' preferences.
Since launch, iCopyright has helped us support nearly 2,000 free uses of our content. The most popular use? Old fashioned print: 83 percent of instant licences so far have been for printed copies of articles.
Funny, not so long ago we were warned of the death of print. It seems that when it comes down to individual preferences, many of us will still choose print.
What's your preference? Share your thoughts at the FreePint Bar.
