Mises Economics Blog: Mises Institute Print on Demand

A libertarian institute offering dozens of out of print books for sale through Lulu. This is just how academia and libraries should be embracing print on demand technology.

Mises Institute Print on Demand’s Storefront – Lulu.com

The list of books they are publishing. Worth noting, is that it kind of makes sense that libertarians are the ones who thought to embrace a free and open marketplace like Lulu. Librarians as supporters of free and open marketplaces of ideas should take note.

Research Trends - Sparking debate
From article about SNIP - "Across a subject field as broad as scholarly communication, assessing journal impact by citations to a journal in a two-year time frame is obviously going to favor those subjects that cite heavily, and rapidly.
