Hi Steve
I was invited to a workshop about 18 months ago of which all the other
participants were content editors of major reference textbooks. The
underlying theme that came through was that most societies would be
moving away from the textbook and into online environments that would be
free to society members but fee based to anyone else who was interested
in access.
It will be interesting to see how it develops.
