A VIEW FROM OUTSIDE

The June 1999 issue of The Journal of Electronic Publishing
< http://www.press.umich.edu/jep > is now available for your reading
enjoyment.

As usual, it is chock-full of insightful articles, good ideas, and
provocative suggestions. And no matter what your involvement in
electronic publishing, you will find the authors from outside your
area are as interesting as those inside.

We have two articles on archiving:

The Unsettled State of Archiving
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/beebe.html
Linda Beebe and Barbara Meyers, publishing consultants, take a broad
look at archiving, reviewing current programs and new studies, and conclude
that it's not time to declare a winner: more players have to put more effort
into the game.

Ensuring Long-Term Access to Online Publications
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/phillips.html
Margaret E. Phillips, manager of the electronic unit of the National
Library of Australia, tells how the library has cobbled together custom
and off-the-shelf software, and established some standards and
relationships, to begin the process of archiving online publications.


We have three case studies:

KRAK:
A Case Study at the Reference Frontier
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/loebbecke.html
Claudia Loebbecke. a professor of electronic commerce at Copenhagen
Business School, reveals how the Danish publisher KRAK put its
directories online and built on its corporate structure to aim for success,
despite
a shaky start.

National Academy Press:
A Case Study
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/pope.html
Barbara Kline Pope, director of the press, tells why the National
Academy decided to give away its intellectual property, what happened, and why
she thinks others might consider doing the same.

ACM:
A Case Study
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/rous.html
Bernard Rous, director of the ACM Publications Board, writes about the
ongoing saga of ACM's online-subscription service, which required a
major change in marketing and packaging.


And we have other valuable articles:

A Subscription Agent's Role in Electronic Publishing
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/knibbe.html
Andrew Knibbe details how the intermediary service he works for is
changing to retain its customer base in the new disintermediated world of
electronic publishing.

Forget Fast Revenue Streams:
Use Your Web Presence to Build Your Franchise
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/krasilovsky.html
Peter Krasilovsky, whose consulting work with some of the country's
largest franchises has given him a unique vantage, applies the lessons he has
learned to online publishing.


A Primer on Public-Key Cryptography
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/polito.html
If online security and cryptography confuse you, the explanation by
Jessica Polito, who teaches mathematics at Tufts University, will make it all
clear.


Our own Thom Lieb, contributing editor, has another good piece:

Content + Commerce = Conflict
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/lieb0404.html
He warns us that it's hard to separate advertising and editorial on
line, but reputable publishers need to draw that line well.


Finally, we've snagged some fine reprints. If you've read them, you'll
enjoy seeing them again. And if you have not read them, they are
definitely must-read articles:

Why Do Some Electronic-Only Journals Struggle, While Others Flourish?
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/kiernan.html
The headline on this reprint from The Chronicle of Higher Education says
it all.

Competition and Cooperation:
The Transition to Electronic Scholarly Journals
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/odlyzko0404.html
AT&T Labs' Andrew Odlyzko looks at low-circulation journals that are
sold mainly to libraries, and traces their options online.

Publishers' Rights and Wrongs in the Cyberage
http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/04-04/field.html
Thomas G. Field, Jr. brings his expertise in intellectual-property law
to some of the big IP issues online.

Enjoy!
