Vol. 26, no. 6 (2014–2015) of Against the Grain was a special issue, edited by Bob Nardini (Ingram Library Services), on academic libraries, university presses, and library publishing. One-sentence summaries are freely available online in the issue’s table of contents, with full text available to subscribers. In addition, some authors have kindly posted eprints of their work.
