This seminar examines the effects of technology on publishing and
scholarship in the 1990s, as well as the economics of electronic
scholarly publishing. We will consider the impact of technology _and_
profits on the relationships between publishers and scholars. This
seminar will benefit:
o Publishers with electronic publishing programs who want to
learn more about the effects of technology on scholarship.
o Publishers considering electronic publication who are
concerned about the economics of electronic publishing and
the market demand for electronic formats.
o Scholars and librarians who are concerned about the effect
of technology and profits on the scholarly mission.
o Anyone interested in learning about the future of
scholarship and scholarly communication in the electronic
age.
