Brave New World or "Plus Ca Change"?: Electronic Journals and the Academic Library
Burrows, Toby
Australian Academic & Research Libraries, v37 n3 p170-178 Sep 2006
The impact that electronic information technologies have had on scholarly communications and university libraries is assessed. Early predictions that the dominance of commercial publishers would decline and journal prices would fall have not been realised. The development of institutional repositories have had limited success in making the research output of universities freely available to the scholarly community. (Contains 25 notes.)
