[Irtalk] Can Libraries Help Stop this Madness? | Peer to Peer Review

[Hilton Gibson]

On a popular electronic list for librarians, Rick Anderson of the
University of Utah recently raised this idea about the systemic problem
with university presses. His point was fairly simple and putatively
non-controversial—*“the question,” he wrote, referring to
university-published monographs, “is whether they offer value to a large
enough number of people to justify the cost and effort of publishing them
in a traditional way”*
