[Asis-l] (Fwd) Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology

[Michel J. Menou]

I guess Sheila has a good point here.
May be the fact that the editor in chief is identified as a member of
IRMA is a partial explanation. That points to the basic and urgent
need of fostering smoother and more steady interaction among the many
professional and scientific societies that deal with the broad IS&T
field.
Another possible explanation is the reluctance of some colleagues to
contribute to commercial publications that require exclusive licence.

Best regards

Michel
