Upcoming book on e-resource management in libraries

Posted on by

I was interested to read Organization Monkey’s post today about getting her author’s copy of a book with a chapter written by her. The book sounds very similar to the one to which I contributed some time ago but still hasn’t seen the light of day (sigh): Electronic Resource Management in Libraries: Research and Practice, Holly Yu and Scott Breivold, eds. (ISBN 9781599048918). Congratulations to her on that!

Here is a table of contents list for the book to which I contributed (E-journals Access and Management, Wayne Jones, ed. and published by Haworth, ISBN 9780789033857):

Electronic resources : the new frontier for academic libraries / Kathleen Shearer

Open access journals : the global movement and local publishing / Wayne Johnston

Preserving the outputs of scholarly communication for the long term : a review of recent developments in digital preservation for electronic journal content / Michael Day

Current challenges in licensing negotiation : an academic library perspective / Joy Kirchner

Developing a model license : a Canadian consortium’s experience / Scott Gillies, Tony Horava

Ejournals, budgets, and collection policies : managing the serials / Will Wakeling

Redefining service roles in the e-environment / Rollo Turner

Decline of print journals / Tinker Massey

The collaborative journey from print to electronic / Karen Pifher

    Steve, congratulations on your contribution to this timely book. I am concerned by the cost of the book – $180 for print and $132 for electronic. No I am not blaming you for this expensive book. Does this book price itself out the (library staff) users that should read and use electronic management?

    Hi,

    Yikes! That IS expensive. The pricing you quote though is not for the book
    to which I contributed (*E-journals Access and Management*, Wayne Jones, ed.
    and published by Haworth, ISBN 9780789033857) but rather to the following
    book: Electronic Resource Management in Libraries: Research and Practice,
    Holly Yu and Scott Breivold, eds. (ISBN 9781599048918). It’s confusing, I
    know. And the wording of my post lends to confusion.

    I checked the price of the book to which I contributed (again, it is
    *E-journals
    Access and Management*, Wayne Jones, ed. and published by Haworth, ISBN
    9780789033857), and it isn’t cheap either. The cost shown on Amazon is $95.

    Either book is pricey, I agree. This gets to the heart of the dilemma of
    academic book publishing. The publishing cycle is far too slow and by the
    time a book is actually published, the content may be out of date, making
    the purchase price somewhat more questionable.

    9780789033857), and it isn’t cheap either. The cost shown on Amazon is $95.

    Either book is pricey, I agree. This gets to the heart of the dilemma of
    academic book publishing. The publishing cycle is far too slow and by the
    time a book is actually published, the content may be out of date, making
    the purchase price somewhat more questionable.

    Hi,

    Yikes! That IS expensive. The pricing you quote though is not for the book
    to which I contributed (*E-journals Access and Management*, Wayne Jones, ed.
    and published by Haworth, ISBN 9780789033857) but rather to the following
    book: Electronic Resource Management in Libraries: Research and Practice,
    Holly Yu and Scott Breivold, eds. (ISBN 9781599048918). It’s confusing, I
    know. And the wording of my post lends to confusion.

    I checked the price of the book to which I contributed (again, it is
    *E-journals
    Access and Management*, Wayne Jones, ed. and published by Haworth, ISBN
    9780789033857), and it isn’t cheap either. The cost shown on Amazon is $95.

    Steve, congratulations on your contribution to this timely book. I am concerned by the cost of the book – $180 for print and $132 for electronic. No I am not blaming you for this expensive book. Does this book price itself out the (library staff) users that should read and use electronic management?
