Fin dal maggio del 2004, i delegati della Commissione Biblioteche della CRuI avevano indicato il tema dell'editoria elettronica come uno dei punti strategici da approfondire e ai quali dedicare la massima attenzione. L'istituzione del Gruppo di lavoro sull'Editoria Elettronica, coordinato dall'Università degli studi di Firenze, aveva formalizzato questo interesse e stimolato l'analisi dello "stato dell'arte" in Italia in questo campo, delle opportunità che esso offre al mondo accademico e la definizione di possibili linee di sviluppo. Le "raccomandazioni" contenute in questa pubblicazione sono destinate ai delegati dei rettori delle università italiane e ai loro collaboratori con l'intento di fornire informazioni e suggerimenti per lo sviluppo di iniziative di editoria elettronica. In tal senso vogliono non solo rappresentare uno strumento di aiuto e indirizzo per chi si è già orientato a intraprendere un'iniziativa editoriale universitaria, ma porsi anche come invito a riflettere sull'importanza che l'editoria elettronica sta acquistando per l'attività didattica e scientifica future. In May 2004, the delegates of the Library Commission of the CRuI had already identified the issue of electronic publishing as one of the strategic aspects to be addressed and explored with the utmost attention. The setting up of the working group on Electronic Publishing, co-ordinated by the University of Florence, formalised this interest, stimulating the analysis of the state of the art in this field in Italy, the opportunities which it offered to the academic world and the definition of possible lines of development. The "Recommendations" comprised in this publication are addressed to the delegates of the Chancellors of the Italian universities and their collaborators, and intended to provide information and suggestions for the development of electronic publishing initiatives. They are consequently designed not only as a tool for help and guidance for those who are already moving in the direction of a University publishing initiative, but also as an invitation to reflect on the importance that electronic publishing is acquiring for the teaching and scientific activities of the future.

In the wake of the so-called digital revolution numerous attempts have been made to rethink and redesign what scholarly publications can or should be. Beyond the Flow examines the technologies as well as narratives driving this unfolding transformation. However, facing challenges such as the serial crisis, knowledge burying or sudoku research the discourses and practices of scholarly publishing today are mainly shaped by confusion, heterogeneity and uncertainty. By critically interrogating the current state of digital publishing in academia the book asks for how a sustainable post-digital publishing ecology can be imagined.

Segment essentiel de la documentation universitaire, les revues sont entrées depuis quelques années déjà dans le nouveau monde numérique. Dans le secteur des sciences humaines et sociales, les conditions de ce passage se posent en termes conceptuels, économiques, techniques et organisationnels. Les revues qui participent à des infrastructures nationales de diffusion de la recherche devraient pouvoir effectuer la transition vers le numérique selon un modèle qui réponde aux besoins du milieu. Il est ainsi possible de définir un espace où les revues qui ne sont pas dans le giron des oligopoles peuvent s'imposer comme formes stables et professionnelles de communication scientifique. Dans une toile encore dominée par l'anglais, le défi de la diffusion du document universitaire francophone se révèle particulièrement stimulant. Cet ouvrage en présente les grands enjeux et propose de les relever en faisant appel à une stratégie réseau. Avec des formations et des parcours distincts (professeur et directeur scientifique d'une maison d'édition universitaire, d'une part, bibliothécaire et spécialiste des sciences de l'information, d'autre part), Gérard Boismenu et Guylaine Beaudry ont été amenés à développer les premières structures de publications numériques à l'Université de Montréal. Leur réflexion s'inspire principalement du projet Érudit et de la réalisation d'un portail de revues.

Compared with other industries, scientific publishing has a centuries-old tradition. However, it is currently the development of digital information and communication technologies in probably the biggest upheaval since the invention of the printing press. Björn Ortelbach deals with the impact of technological development in the scientific publishing industry from a business point of view. In the first part of the book he analyzes how value added cost structures and business models of publishers change. The second part of the book deals with the impact of these changes on the control of these companies. Based on the previously worked out specifics of the industry design proposals for the use of controlling mechanisms are developed. Im Vergleich mit anderen Wirtschaftszweigen kann die wissenschaftliche Verlagsbranche auf eine mehrere Jahrhunderte alte Tradition zurückblicken. Jedoch befindet sie sich gegenwärtig durch die Entwicklung digitaler Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien im wohl größten Umbruch seit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks. Björn Ortelbach befasst sich mit den Auswirkungen der technologischen Entwicklung auf die wissenschaftliche Verlagsbranche aus betriebswirtschaftlicher Sicht. Im ersten Teil des Buches wird analysiert, wie sich Wertschöpfung, Kostenstrukturen und Geschäftsmodelle von Verlagen wandeln. Der zweite Teil des Buchs befasst sich mit den Auswirkungen dieser Veränderungen auf die Steuerung dieser Unternehmen. Auf Basis der zuvor herausgearbeiteten Spezifika der Branche werden Gestaltungsvorschläge für den Einsatz von Controllinginstrumenten entwickelt.

Despite the fact that e-books have been in existence for decades in various guises and added to library collections for several years now, there has been a noticeable lack of published manuals on the subject. This is doubtless owing to the rapidly evolving nature of the market. There is now a plethora of different types of digital object that may be termed 'e-books' and a bewildering number of business and access models to match. Moreover the pace of change shows no sign of abating, but there is an increasing amount of popular interest in e-books, and what is needed is practical information to assist library and information professionals managing collections of e-books and doing their best to inform their users right now. This timely book, the first of its kind to provide a practical appraisal of e-books, aims to fill that need by addressing the key questions: Where do e-books come from and what are the key business models that support them? What needs to change before e-books become universally and easily used? What will the e-book landscape look like in ten years' time? How can you be sure you are building a good collection that your users can access easily? And what about money and budgets? This book is divided into five parts: the production and distribution of e-books; planning and developing an e-book collection; delivering e-books to library readers; engaging readers with e-books; and, the future of e-books. This book is a ready reference source for any library and information professional with an interest in e-books and their development. It is essential background reading for library managers wishing to develop an e-book collection from scratch or for those responsible for maintaining an existing e-book collection. It will also have plenty to interest publishers, who need to be aware of the issues faced by libraries managing e-book collections, and will be of great value to students of librarianship and information studies, and those on publishing related courses.
