Greetings. I have updated my blog <http://oaopenaccess.wordpress.com> for your interest. >From my old school files, Part 2: Excerpts from that research paper on the >development of the scholarly journal <http://oaopenaccess.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/from-my-old-school-files-part-2-excerpts-from-that-research-paper-on-the-development-of-the-scholarly-journal/>
I have a few very interesting stories brewing regarding a couple of theological journals that have converted from subscription-based to open access (the library will become the publisher for one, and the other is based at an institution that, along with its library, strongly supports and promotes open access), and a society journal which is not open access per se (although they provide a web archive of freely available back issues) but recently reversed a decision to go with a commercial publisher. I hope to have my research for these stories completed before too long. I have to confess, however, that since the end of the school year (despite the fact that I work throughout the summer) I’ve been feeling pretty lazy about writing. I know. That’s not good. Bloggers need to keep a forward momentum going so their readers will stay engaged. So, if only to let you know that I’m still alive, I’m following-up with the plan I suggested in a recent post to excerpt relevant bits from the semester paper I wrote for my Foundations of Library and Information Science course back in May 2004. The paper is entitled The Scholarly Journal: Long Tradition Behind the Coming Change. … Thanks for your comments! Gary F.
