From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 13:40:46 -0500 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
