EXCERPT: "Oxford University Press has always been quick to take up the challenge of the information technology revolution. The company printed its first book in 1478, only 2 years after Caxton's first printing press was set up. Now, some 500 years later, OUP is once again at the leading edge of a new publishing medium - the electronic journal." |

Keller (University Librarian; Director of Academic Information Resources; Publisher of HighWire Press at Stanford) follows in which he provides insightful, thought-provoking answers to questions involving his role and HighWire's mission, as well as its uniqueness, impact on the market, customer base, competition, partners, and the future." |

IN THE PRESS: (9/5/97) "Notice the Library Sprouting on Your Desktop?" HMS Beagle, September 5, 1997 (Free registration required) |
||
|
EXCERPT: "In only six months, Science Online has signed up more paying subscribers (18,000 and counting) than most print journals have garnered after decades of effort. And yet I continue to encounter scores of scientists who have yet to visit our site - or have visited us merely to download a particular paper. What they don't know is that Science (and many of the other high-impact life science journals) are now mounting an array of online services that many scholars have only dreamed of." |

|
|
IN THE PRESS: (9/97) "HighWire Press: Internet Imprint of the Stanford University Libraries" College & Research Libraries News, September 1997 |
||
|
EXCERPT: "HighWire Press may be a solution to the time-honored problem faced by libraries and other information centers of high subscription rates of science, technical, and medical (STM) journals. HighWire's mission is to 'provid(e) a more direct linkage between the writers and readers of scholarly materials...to affect the economics of provision of scholarly information...[and] to build new technological, economic and programmatic partnerships' with other interested parties. Add to this the hope to 'ensure that the nascent marketplace...does not develop along the semi-monopolistic lines of current STM publishing' and you've got good use of server space." |

IN THE PRESS: (7/97) "The HighWire Press at Stanford University: A Review of Current Features" Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, Summer 1997 |
||
|
EXCERPT: "Three years ago, the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) was searching for alternatives for delivery of the society's journal, the Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC). With over 30,000 pages per year and steady growth, the journal was outgrowing its printed format. A CD-ROM version had been introduced but had not been successful, in part because JBC is simply too large for CD-ROM. Robert Simoni, an editor of JBC, discussed the problem with Michael Keller, the Director of Stanford University Libraries, and after negotiations with ASBMB, the Stanford University Libraries enthusiastically agreed to take on development of the web version of JBC. The HighWire Press team, a unit within Stanford University Libraries, was appointed in early 1995. The first web version of JBC was released in May of that year." |

IN THE PRESS: (6/25/97) "The Island Life Offers Speedy Surfing" Wired, June 25, 1997 |
||
|
EXCERPT: "One man's dream of the island life coupled with the Hawaiian pipeline - of high-fiber telecom, that is - is making it possible for companies firmly rooted on the US mainland to speed Internet deliveries to their international customers. By detouring traffic away from the overcrowded US public Internet and onto a private network based in Honolulu, Digital Island is shortening the route data travels, and therefore the minutes spent downloading information and software from its clients' sites. Stanford University's HighWire Press, which publishes searchable electronic editions of leading science journals, on Tuesday became the latest bit-heavy content provider to sign on to Digital Island's private network. Some of the site's files, weighing in at 1.5 mgbs, used to take as long as 10 minutes to download, but those times should improve by an average 160 percent on the Digital Island network, according to a study conducted by HighWire.

IN THE PRESS: (3/21/97) "Dancing on the HighWire: HighWire Press, Stanford University Libraries" HMS Beagle, March 21, 1997 (Free registration required) |
||
|
ABSTRACT: "HighWire Press, a tiny division of Stanford University Library, is the biggest open secret to getting scientific journals on the Web. Staffed by visionaries often juggling other jobs, HighWire has enabled journals to reach the on-line market and consider reshaping their print content. Whether HighWire's work even profits its clients is discounted by all parties, for now." |
