Though not a librarian, I agree with Shannon and feel the
President's
reply was not appreciative of those professionals who have made Art
Documentation a solid and respected publication. I have published several
book reviews in Art Documentation and am proud of my modest contributions and
with the way they were handled by the editors.
I think
there is less respect for articles and book reviews on the Web than there is for
those published in print. Though publishing on line might be the wave of
the future, I hope books and printed journals such as
Art Documentation can
continue making some ripples.
