Duke's Steinle Quoted in Chronicle of Higher Ed

The Chronicle of Higher Education's Jennifer Howard writes about publishers facing pressure from libraries to freeze prices on journals and online packages. Our own Library Relations Manager, Kim Steinle, is quoted, saying that many libraries are asking for better deals on our content, but "our first take is to stick by the fact that our prices are already reasonable," she says. Duke Press is also mentioned in an Inside Higher Ed article today about the woes of the printed monograph. Scott Jaschik reports that University of Michigan Press plans to publish future monographs digitally rather than in print form. Our own e-Duke Books project is mentioned as an alternative model, in which digital content is meant to complement the printed book rather than replace it.
