At the
2010 Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature in Atlanta, I'll be participating in the following session. I hope to see some AWOL readers there.
E-Publish or Perish? (S21-314)
Sunday, Nov 21, 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Enthusiasm for electronic scholarship, like the technology that enables it, seems destined to grow exponentially into the foreseeable future. To help scholars and students navigate this dense and ever-shifting landscape, SBL Publications is sponsoring a special session on the challenges and opportunities presented by e-publishing. In this overview, panelists with hands-on electronic publishing experience discuss some of the open-access forms that e-publishing may take, including monograph series, online journals, blogs, and online resources, then answer questions from the audience.

Seems with websites. all those journals that costs lots and lots of money, can now become free, and instantly available to everyone. Unless there is actually a profit motive behind academic research. But if the goal is the discovery and distribution of information, the web has now maid antiquated journals obsolete.
