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.

Is your most cited work your best?
We got some intriguing feedback. The vast majority of this elite group felt that their most important paper was indeed one of their most-cited ones. Yet they described most of their chart-topping work as evolutionary, not revolutionary.
