The Ithaka Report: University Publishing in a Digital Age

An organization called Ithaka has published a report on “University Publishing in a Digital Age” that calls on university administrators, faculty, librarians, and presses to leverage changes in technology to re-organize scholarly publication.

The report, published in August 2007, is worth a look. It summarizes and focuses much of the conversation of the past 15 years as higher education has changed its practices, usually in fragmented and incremental ways, in response to rapidly changing technologies of publication.
