This is almost EXACTLY the session I logged in to propose, so I'm glad to hear there's someone else interested in similar issues! I spent last year working at the Journal of Asian Studies (which has a few online initiatives going, mostly in the realm of making some content available to non-subscribers) and the experience sparked a lot of questions. Do scholars think of online-only content as "less important/reputable/valuable" than print publications? Should book reviews be online only? How can we use online tools to extend and enhance the print journal's role within the academic community? I'd love to discuss these issues with other THATCampers who want to brainstorm about how we can bring print journals into the digital world!
