NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT News on Networking Cultural Heritage Resources from across the Community August 18, 2000 Bill Arms & the Open-Access Model for Publishing http://chronicle.com/free/2000/08/2000081801t.htm Approved-By: [log in to unmask] Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 10:27:58 -0400 Sender: Digital Libraries Research mailing list <[log in to unmask]> From: Leo Robert Klein <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Open-Access Model for Publishing With the hoopla surrounding e-books on occasion reaching absurd lengths, it's refreshing to read an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that supports a model for publishing which is not proprietary, not restricted in access, and not likely to force libraries into receivership. The article consists of an interview with Cornell Professor, William Y. Arms, and makes for interesting reading. http://chronicle.com/free/2000/08/2000081801t.htm LEO __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] Administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner at: [log in to unmask]
