Two publisher reps reflect on turmoil in the industry Miriam A. Drake, Scholarly Communication in Turmoil, Information Today, February 4, 2007. Excerpt:
Comment. This is a long, detailed article. I've excerpted only the preface and encourage you to read the rest. Both Morris and Mabe know the publisher perspective on this turmoil very well --which is not to say that I agree with all of their diagnoses. I'm only sorry that Information Today assumed that the only experts on this turmoil were publishers. I'd like to see a follow-up in which we hear from researchers themselves and others (librarians, funders, legislators) who have been working for just those new models of scholarly communication that are causing turmoil for some publishers. The interests of publishers are not the only interests at stake here. |
