The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has some thoughts about university presses and their role in the future of academic discourse and scholarly publication. In a double issue of the Association’s newsletter, entitled University Publication in a Digital Age this topic is discussed from several angles by contributors who are familiar with the scene, and who make some interesting recommendations about what should be done to transition scholarly publication in digital format into the Academy. Some of this is heady wine indeed, and Dr. D. Schulenburger’s comments are useful as prophylaxis.
