			IN THE PRESS: (11/20/96) "HighWire Press a pioneer in moving scientific journals online" Stanford University News Service, November 20,1996
			EXCERPT: "Biology Professor Robert Simoni has set himself a test: He wants to write a scientific review article without going to the library to look up papers or references. Two years ago, that would have been unthinkable. But now it's just a matter of time, due in large part to the efforts of HighWire Press, a fledgling division of Stanford Libraries that is a key player in shifting distribution of scientific ideas from printed journals to online publications."

			IN THE PRESS: (6/96) "Stanford University's HighWire Press: Changing the Face of Scholarly Publishing" InterNIC News, June 1996
			EXCERPT: "The world of science and technology changes rapidly, even daily. Contrast this with the lead-time required to publish a journal or magazine in print. It immediately becomes apparent that information can become outdated even before it appears on the newsstand. Now consider the difficulty a reader might have in searching for articles with a particular focus. This can be a time-consuming process when the reader has only spools of microfilm at his disposal. And think about the expense of printed journals; many libraries are finding it increasingly difficult to acquire publications because of their rising cost. When these problems became apparent, staff members at Stanford University Libraries/Academic Information Resources were prompted to develop Stanford's Network Publishing project, known as HighWire Press" [all "In the Press" articles]

			IN THE PRESS: (2/9/96) "SPECIAL NEWS REPORT: Science Journals Go Wired" Science, February 9, 1996 (Free registration required)
			EXCERPT: "The on-line journals that publishers are launching by the hundreds are transforming science communication by turning journals into perpetual electronic seminars and weaving them into a single interconnected database. This two-part report also examines a trend that may threaten established publishers: the rise of free, on-line preprint archives and efforts to transform them into low-cost, fully refereed journals. The full text also provides hot-links to relevant sites." [all "In the Press" articles]
