Jan 10, 2011 at 14:40 comment added Theo Buehler The point Sergio is making in his answer is a very good one -- it concerns your initial motivation that you want to show that filtered colimits of $R$-modules are exact. This is a special property of module categories and it is important to notice that the dual is wrong. Filtered limits of short exact sequences need not be exact, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittag-Leffler_condition

Jan 10, 2011 at 13:34 comment added Łukasz Grabowski @Ralph: To show that mono implies (*) at a given i \in I consider a system over I which is non-zero only at i.
Jan 10, 2011 at 13:18 comment added Ralph @Lukasz: Thanks for the reference. But they also take (*) as definition for being mono.
Jan 10, 2011 at 13:03 comment added Łukasz Grabowski Showing that taking direct limit is exact is exercise 19 in chapter 2 of Atiyah-Macdonald (there's a hint there).
