Abstract:

The first presentation, 'Self-publishing by scholars: an overview', introduces self-publishing from a historical viewpoint. Based on a functional analysis of journals in the information chain, the evolution of e-print servers and electronic journals is examined and assessed. The second part examines the possible facilitating role which libraries can play in self-publishing ventures. This discussion is based on experiences at Tilburg University with electronic preprints in economics, the development of an electronic journal in comparative law and electronic reprints through an Internet Law Library.
