to the Faculty." It's a refereed article from the Public-Access Computer
Systems Review.

Bruce Morgan, Is the Journal as We Know It an Article of Faith?
An Open Letter to the Faculty
The Dean of Libraries of Montana State University explains
his conclusion that "the specialized paper-based journal no
longer is effective in the wide or timely dissemination of
scholarship." He notes, "We need to explore how we might
achieve scholarly communication that is more effective and
that will still adhere to the academic values
(well-thought-out, well-written, well-researched,
well-documented articles) that we have always deemed
important." He makes unique use of Thomas Kuhn's ideas
about scientific revolutions and paradigm shifts to call for
a move from paper to electronic scholarly journals.
