The Last Post
“With this hard copy, I thee read.” Well, so much for intertextuality… This is to alert all SHARP Members that 23.4 is the last SHARP News that will be delivered in hard copy to your physical letterbox. From 24.1, you will be able to access, read, download, and print a .pdf version of the quarterly newsletter delivered via our sharpweb.org members’ only space: as we have been doing over the last two years! Throughout 2015, your SHARP News team will be exploring new publishing models that include disaggregating content and placing it in digital-only spaces, linking our bibliographies to reviews, adding commenting functions to commissioned reviews, crowdsourcing content, and more. We are treating this as a research project and will be looking at best practice in the e-domain under the professional guidance of Jason Ensor, our Director of Electronic Resources, Claire Squires, our Director of Publications, and our new SHARP News Editor, Padmini Ray Murray. Yours truly will also be involved in this transition and we will be encouraging SHARPists to help us test our prototypes throughout the process. So, in going boldly where no SHARPNews has gone before …
