Hi all,
Andrew Albanese, longtime informed commentator on the library landscape for Publishers Weekly, with Erin Cox, has started a site dedicated to exploring the intersection of publishing and libraries.
Called Words & Money, the site already has a wealth of content. Readers will find detailed articles about libraries and librarians and careful analysis of recent legal battles and news.
"Words & Money will provide essential news, analysis, opinion, as well as select reviews, and resources that will center the role of libraries in the 21st Century publishing business.
Words & Money will update the website daily with news and analysis, publish a weekly newsletter which will feature long-form essays, and coming soon a biweekly podcast that will present news and interviews with authors and newsmakers."
The site is well worth a look. While this list generally never promotes anything commercial, I encourage readers and libraries to consider the separate optional subscription (note-I have no commercial interest in the site and benefit in no way from it). It's a great way to keep up with developments in our field, and I wish it great success.
Michael
