Bringing History into the Digital Age: A Case Study of an Online Journal Transition

Abstract

Scholarly communication and library publishing services are becoming more widespread, giving academic libraries new opportunities to become more active participants in the creation and distribution of resources. These new ventures can help librarians to broaden their understanding of scholarly publishing. Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU) Library partnered with WLU Press in an e-journal initiative, launching the digital counterpart of a long-running print publication, Canadian Military History. This article presents a summary of that project. © 2013 Copyright The North American Serials Interest Group, Inc.
