How Graphic Novels Became the Hottest Section in the Library
According to old stereotypes, it shouldnât workâserious librarians should want nothing to do with the raucous, pulp world of comicsâand for a long time it didnât.
For Scientists, an Exploding World of Pseudo-Academia
A parallel world of pseudo-academia, with prestigiously titled conferences and journals that will print seemingly anything for a fee, has the scientific community alarmed.Hmm. If only there were a cadre of professionals out there who kept track of such things, who had a vested interest in keeping an eye on which OA journals were high quality (such as PLoS) and which ones were not. If only there were people researchers could partner with, along with their professional colleagues, to discuss and evaluation publication venues. If only there were people who spend a great deal of their time teaching other people how to critically evaluate what they see and read.
It’ll come to me in a minute, I’m sure.
Old and New. One thing I like about this picture is how it highlights the real and significant impact of digital on publishing. The book section seen in the background of this photo is know as the Bargain Section. It is filled with overstock inventory remaindered at bargain closeout prices. These are books that would be otherwise pulped and destroyed. All of them could be contained in the little glowing device in the foreground and not an ounce of paper wasted. Not a digital word declared out of print because sales volume didn’t justify a reprinting.
The problem is that there is a huge percentage of the business of traditional publishing centered on the waste of getting content through the distribution pipeline. Remainders to secondary markets, used bookstores, foreign rights sales, are all branches that break the fall of bad decisions. As digital publishing develops and matures these branches one by one are cut off and with each misstep the fall becomes faster and faster. ~ eP

For those who weren’t there, here’s the audio of the panel I was on at C2E2 with @MarkWaid @johnnystorm0 @JamesTheFourth and Peter Krause talking about utilizing the digital medium to advance the medium and make the best comics we can.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, and to hear what digital comics you’ve been liking, and what more you’d like to see.
Keep the conversation going!
