Predatory Publishing and Global Scholarly Communications gives powerful insight into predatory publishing across the world, inside and outside of the library community, and provides tools for understanding and teaching its impact and contributing to its improvement.

  In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the majority of women were forced to seek their education outside the walls of American universities. Many turned to museums and libraries, for their own enlightenment, for formal education, and also for their careers. In Roffman’s close readings of four modernist writers—Edith Wharton, Nella Larsen, Marianne Moore, and Ruth Benedict—she studied the that modernist women writers were simultaneously critical of and shaped by these institutions.   From the Modernist Annex offers new and critically significant ways of understanding these writers and their texts, the distribution of knowledge, and the complicated place of women in modernist institutions.

Libraries, especially since the nineteenth century, have included real private documents and archives among their special collections. The typologies are analyzed, also focusing on author libraries, where books, as they are often rich in manuscript interventions by the owners, take on the archival value. We also dwell on the often improper descriptive treatment that this material has undergone in libraries.

A revised version of a talk given to a seminar on library administration, Royal School of Librarianship, Copenhagen, Sept 76. Outlines the history of library lending royalty schemes in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and, in more detail, Canada. Canadian librarians have been reluctant to acknowledge that library lending deprives authors-implementation of any system of compensation to authors for library use would by implication burden the libraries with the scheme's administrative cost; this would adversely affect library grants and budgets. However, the Canadian Library Association now strongly favours recognising, by increasing financial rewards, the important contribution made by authors to the Canadian contemporary cultural scene. A system of rewards based on library holdings (and the administrative costs) can be most propitiously developed and executed by the Canadian government.
