OrangeReviewStarScholarly communications impact consumers' daily lives through news reports, newspaper and popular magazine articles, and discussions of social issues. Anderson (associate dean for collections & scholarly communication, J. Willard Marriott Lib., Univ. of Utah; Libraries, Leadership, and Scholarly Communication) provides a broad overview of these methods in a smoothly flowing Q&A format. Unlike John J. Regazzi's Scholarly Communications: A History from Content as King to Content as Kingmaker, which took a historical approach, and Open Access and the Future of Scholarly Communication, edited by Kevin L. Smith and Katherine A. Dickson, which concentrated solely on open access, this volume delves into various academic publishing models (monographs, journal articles, white papers, theses and dissertations, etc.) while simultaneously addressing topics including peer review, ebooks, copyright, and more.
VERDICT An excellent, cohesive work that will be invaluable to researchers, advanced undergraduates, and graduate students as well as faculty and staff needing to identify options to meet academia's publication demands. Essential for academic libraries' core collections.
