The Scholar’s Forum Débuts

Abstract

In recent years, scholars and academic librarians have begun to consider alternatives to the print‐based model for research publishing. Fortuitously, two significant trends emerged almost simultaneously. While libraries faced canceling subscriptions in response to escalating journal prices and declining budgets, the creation of the World Wide Web made a ubiquitous electronic alternative to the print journal possible for the first time.
