Hello, liblicense-l colleagues. Here some assumptions arising several
times at ALA-Boston last week. I realized I don't have enough depth
to validate them (or not).
1. Assumption: STM societies don’t publish many (if any?)
books, mostly journals.
2. Assumption: HSS societies do publish books/monographs, as
well as journals.
3. Assumption: Societies (both STM and HSS) don’t outsource
book publishing to commercial publishers the way they do journals
because there isn’t a big enough margin in it for publishers to want
to do it.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards, Ann Okerson
