Open access monographs

[John Willinsky <john.willinsky AT stanford.edu>]

To jump in at the end of David's helpful list, and to start building  
some documentation for this press idea, I've tried to work out more of  
the details around the possible economic routes suggested for pursuing  
monograph publishing, as a first step in drawing up a publishing plan  
and perhaps seeking a grant to explore the viability of these various  
routes.
