Abstract

The development of model licenses for use in the procurement of electronic journals is part of a necessary streamlining of an unfamiliar and burdensome process. Copyright law is inadequate to deal with the scope and accessibility of online journals, the interests of journal owners, or the specific needs of the serials community. Licensing is taking its place. A suite of model licenses is now in the public domain for use as part of the process of negotiating the purchase of electronic journal content for individual libraries and for consortia. These model licenses can help reduce the negotiation and administration for both publishers and librarians. They do not predict the outcome of negotiation or specify best practice; but rather are tools in a new and rapidly changing, information environment.

Abstract

The role of the publishing process in adding value to, and disseminating, scholarship and research is independent of the means of output. It comprises the preparation and packaging of information in a form easily accessible by the user. It includes the technical processes of editing, peer review and revision, publication and marketing. The publishing process must continue to provide a guarantee of quality that is recognised throughout the academic community. The emerging importance of the Internet does not change that role in principle but it does have considerable impact on how publishers function in the future: 1. Publishers need to supplement existing skills with the acquisition of new skills in developing multimedia material and facilitating interaction between scholars without detracting from the authority of the definitive publication; 2. Publishers will become custodians of intellectual property rather than producers of printed artefacts. They must add more value to the literature by exploiting different media for different purposes or user requirements; 3. Publishers will have to acquire much more hands‐on knowledge of, and navigation through, the laws of copyright and contract, especially in respect of the international legal aspects of electronic publishing; 4. Publishers will work more closely in partnership with universities and the research community in order to deliver electronic information effectively and easily to end‐users. Printed and electronic editions of the journal literature will complement each other; their respective strengths and weaknesses will be analysed in this paper. Journals will become interest groups in which papers will be placed. New definitions of ‘publication’, ‘journal’ and ‘literature’ will be required.

Abstract

IT WAS DIFFICULT to believe the tidings that have only just reached me, the news that Stanley Snaith died in Dorset on December 19 last, a few days after his 73rd birthday. The rising generation of librarians may say ‘Who was Stanley Snaith?’, so all the more reason for this tribute.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the most recent literature concerning document supply and related matters.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper provides results from reading of over 150 journals as well as monographs, reports and web sites.

Findings

The paper finds that document supply still has much life left in it with demand robust in many areas and especially in the public arena. It also finds that the fundamental debate on the direction of scholarly publishing continues intensely and that opposition is growing to DRM constraints. Electronic books remain a small minority market but mass digitisation of books is proceeding apace.

Originality/value

The paper is a useful source of information for librarians and others interested in document supply and related matters.
