Summary:
A self-archived version of a TA article in Serials, Volume 22, Number 2, pp. 99-103, 2009. Abstract: "The information industry landscape is changing at a rate that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. As the digital revolution continues to unfold, many existing publishing enterprises will either cease to exist or be transformed into a form that is virtually unrecognizable from their current one. Three factors will shape the future of scholarly journal publishing: the success of open access versus toll access business models, the survival of the journal brand on the author side, and the survival of the journal brand on the reader/librarian side. Whether you find some of these possible futures desirable or catastrophic depends on who you are."
