Abstract:	"For many years, the national research community (scholars, librarians, press directors, and university administrators) has expressed concerns over the state of the system of scholarly communication. Consider, for example, 'Scholarly Communication: the Report of the National Enquiry' published in 1979. The report considered a number of elements that, together, offered evidence of a dysfunctional system of scholarly communication including: declining sales of scholarly monographs; increasing costs of scientific journals; the shift in library budgets from monographs to serials; the need to shift to new modes of electronic publishing; and concerns by faculty that the process of publication in the humanities was too long and burdensome."
