Book Reviews Editorial Statement

Abstract

In an editorial statement (AJA 103 [1999] 699), Paul Rehak and John G. Younger noted fundamental shifts in publishing and information technology that looked to change how scholars publish and share their research. Those shifts have not been as profound as we might have guessed at the time. Major archaeological publications still appear in book form, though some times supplemented by data discs or Internet sites for additional information. The major change has not been toward electronic publications per se but toward the electronic accessibility of paper articles and books. The traditional outlets continue, then, even as publish ers have become savvy to making their content and for mat more accessible and flexible, though rarely more affordable.
