Planned Obsolescence
Choice's Outstanding Academic Title list for
2013 A bold approach to re-envisioning the future
of academic publishing Academic institutions are facing a
crisis in scholarly publishing at multiple levels: presses are
stressed as never before, library budgets are squeezed, faculty are
having difficulty publishing their work, and promotion and tenure
committees are facing a range of new ways of working without a
clear sense of how to understand and evaluate them. Planned
Obsolescence is both a provocation to think more broadly
about the academy's future and an argument for re-conceiving that
future in more communally-oriented ways. Facing these issues
head-on, Kathleen Fitzpatrick focuses on the technological
changes-especially greater utilization of internet publication
technologies, including digital archives, social networking tools,
and multimedia-necessary to allow academic publishing to thrive
into the future. But she goes further, insisting that the key
issues that must be addressed are social and institutional in
origin. Springing from original research as well as Fitzpatrick's
own hands-on experiments in new modes of scholarly communication
through MediaCommons, the digital scholarly network she co-founded,
Planned Obsolescence explores these aspects of scholarly work, as
well as issues surrounding the preservation of digital scholarship
and the place of publishing within the structure of the
contemporary university. Written in an approachable style designed
to bring administrators and scholars into a conversation, Planned
Obsolescence explores both symptom and cure to ensure that
scholarly communication will remain relevant in the digital future.

Technology and scholarly communication
Electronic publishing has been gaining ground in recent years and is now a recognized part of the digital world. In the most comprehensive assessment of electronic publishing to date, thirty-one scholars, librarians, and publishers focus specifically on scholarly publishing. They analyze a number of case studies and offer original insights on a range of topics, including the financial costs involved, market forces, appropriate technological standards, licensing issues, intellectual property, copyright and associated user rights, and the changing roles of researchers, publishers, and librarians. The editors begin with an overview of scholarly communication and develop a novel interpretation of the important role that technology now plays. Many of the following chapters are based on actual electronic publishing projects in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, so the evidence and data are drawn from real-life experiences. Of special value are the attempts to measure costs and patterns of usage of electronic publishing and digital libraries. Electronic publishing has moved well past the experimental stage, and with numerous projects under way this seems an appropriate time to assess its impact on the academic world, from teaching to research to administration.
