Editor's Notes
- Good Afternoon, I hope everyone had a very good lunch! I like to kick off our chat today with a couple of historical observations. Back in 1996 the STM and Academic research community had decided to begin to build their electronic journal systems. The academic universities were not quite sure if they were ready to transition from print to electronic and if they did acquire e-journals they were not quite sure if they would cancel their print. It took quite a few years for the majority of the institutions to sign up for electronic journals. While the publishers were somewhat perplexed that the acquisition of their e-journal platforms was taking longer than expected, they were also part of the problem as well. As most of the publisher’s ejournal programs started at 1995 and moved forward, all but one publishing executive debated whether adding backfiles back to volume 1 issue 1 would be accepted by the academic research community. The other issue debated was whether books should be digitized or not. At the 2001 PSP symposium titled “The E-book: Crouching Dragon or Hidden Tiger? (1) Publishers and librarians actually debated the pros and cons of the e-book. This industry is very slow to move as there is a necessity to have validated published proof that a move to a new medium such as digital books would be acceptable. Well the one publishing executive who moved first in both categories was Derk Haank. At Elsevier, Derk was attending a meeting in Japan and a Japanese Library Director asked Derk when Elsevier was going to load up the journal backfiles. Derk asked him how important this was to the library community and he said very important. Derk replied we will load them ASAP. Without any hesitation Derk informed the Elsevier team about his decision and this ambitious project moved forward on his order. After Elsevier’s announcement, the other publishers introduced their backfile programs. When Derk moved over to Springer one of his first initiatives was to digitize the entire book collection. In 2006 Springer had beat the other STM publishers to the punch with his e book program. These two anecdotal examples demonstrate our industry’s lethargy in moving into new technologies. My hypothesis for my talk this afternoon is that there are several forces (old and new) that are seriously threatening the publisher’s traditional subscription pricing model. The STM publishers will need to assess their respective positions in the market place and will need to act in a far more expeditious manner than they have in the past. Further that these new emerging technologies are speeding up the collision that we all will face. Allow me to establish the foundation for my talk today.
