Review Quotes:
'The book provides readers with a solid, balanced overview of scholarly communication, along with resources, listed in the conclusion, for learning more and keeping up to date. Sewell has produced an excellent resource not only for people working or wanting to work in research support, but for a far wider range of people in academic libraries who will benefit from knowing more about this key area that informs so much of what libraries, and universities, do.'- Carol Hollier, SLA Europe
