The UC Berkeley Center for Studies in Higher Education has been awarded a Mellon grant "to continue its research into the changing nature of scholarly communication and publication practices in the networked age. Capabilities afforded by new technologies, pressures associated with the purchasing power of library budgets, challenges to economic viability for university presses, and the pricing structures of the publishing industry make this research especially timely for the academic and publication communities at large."
