I have had a look at two of the papers from the conference mentioned in
the announcement below, and they look very interesting, if not entirely
good news.

Dear cni-announce subscribers:
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, in collaboration with the
Association of Research Libraries, recently announced the availability
of selected papers from the conference, Scholarly Communication and
Technology. The two-day conference, organized by The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation and held at Emory University in April 1997, brought together
technologists, publishers, librarians, and scholars to discuss the
changing nature of scholarly communication in the electronic environment.
The papers can be accessed via the ARL web site at:
<http://arl.cni.org/scomm/scat/index.html>.
Issues under discussion during this two-day event included, the
economics of electronic scholarly publishing, incorporating technology
into academia, the future of consortia and access versus ownership,
electronic content licensing, and updates on several electronic scholarly
initiatives, such as the Columbia University Online Books Project, Project
Muse at Johns Hopkins University, and JSTOR.
Further information is available at <http://arl.cni.org/>.
