SYMPOSIUM:
"Perish or Publish: The Future of University Presses and Scholarly
Publishing"

Thursday, Feb. 24, 2000 4:00 ? 6:00 p.m.
Scholarly Communication Center, 4th Floor,
Archibald S. Alexander Library,
New Brunswick, NJ

The function of university presses and scholarly publishing is under
scrutiny on several fronts these days.  Issues include the implications
of the new electronic environment for these presses, the impact of
decreasing university support, and the push to publish bestsellers.  At
stake is the continued existence of presses that were dependable sources
of new and important intellectual works that other publishers
traditionally would not publish. Three distinguished panelists, Kate
Wittenberg of Columbia University Press, Marlie Wasserman of Rutgers
University Press, and Dosier Hammond of W.W. Norton & Co. will discuss
the ways in which their respective houses are confronting these
questions.

This event is free and open to the public.
