This site is powered by CommentPress, which allows comments to be attached to individual paragraphs, to whole pages, or to an entire document. To leave a comment on a paragraph, click the speech bubble to its left; to leave a comment on an entire page, click the link to “comments on the whole page” at right. To leave general comments on the entire text, click the closed book icon in the navigation bar. Comments are moderated for first-time unregistered commenters, but only as a means of spam-prevention; comments will not be filtered for content.

Additionally, registered users are able to post entries and comments in the blog, for a wider-ranging, more synthetic discussion. (I reserve the right to deny author status to anyone who spams the site, or who I have reason to believe is a spammer.)

The main text column and the comments column can be made wider by dragging their right-hand borders; if you’d like more room in the main text, you can close the toolbar by clicking on its handle (click the handle again to reopen). Footnotes are readable by rolling over a footnote marker like this one [1]; they’re also included as commentable text in the notes pages at the text’s end.

To return to the table of contents, click the open book icon in the navigation bar, which will make a table of contents drop-down menu appear. Each section of the book appears as a page in the table of contents; you can simply page backward and forward through the text by using the arrows in the navigation bar.

CommentPress also presents two innovative ways of reading comments on the text. By clicking on the speech bubble icon in the navigation bar, you can read comments-by-page; in the list of pages, ordered by number of contents, clicking on the page title will cause the comments to expand, and clicking on “Comment” in each comment’s header will allow you to see that comment in its context. By clicking on the people icon in the navigation bar, you can read comments-by-author, with the same functionality as for comments-by-page.

The thumbtack icon will take you to the book’s community blog; any registered user can post questions or thoughts to the blog for discussion by the broader readership.

I start teaching a publishing class on Wednesday (themed Scholarly Publishing in a Digital Age… hate the “digital age” part, but that’s the working title that students will understand since they’re not expecting to study “scholarly” publishing nor “digital” publishing.) We read your book after a quick read of Borgman’s and then Willinsky’s. I had planned to add any comments as I read through with them, but even on scanning the entire book several times now, I don’t see a whole lot that others haven’t already mentioned. You’re a quick writer (it seems), and you’ll probably be done revising by the time I get there, but just wanted to FYI. fwiw.
Hey, Cheryl. Thanks for this, and for teaching the book! I hope that your students will comment here, and that you will, too, as things occur to you. I’m moving a little slower on the revisions than I’d hoped, so any thoughts you have would still be much appreciated!
