Is E-Publishing at Columbia U. on the Ropes?
Rumors are swirling in the university publishing world that Columbia University is eliminating its electronic publishing division. The rumors follow a recent shift in focus of Columbia’s high-profile digital scholarship project, Gutenberg-e.
James G. Neal, vice president for information services, who is also university librarian, declined to comment on the matter. But Kate Wittenberg, who has been heavily involved with electronic publishing at the university, will be leaving the university on June 30. She told The Chronicle that Mr. Neal informed her that Columbia’s libraries will no longer be involved in electronic publishing.—Andrea L. Foster
