Rick Anderson Joins the Scholarly Kitchen
Please join the Chefs in the Scholarly Kitchen as we welcome our newest culinary compatriot, Rick Anderson, Associate Director for Scholarly Resources and Collections at the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah. Rick has been President of the North American Serials Interest Group (NASIG) and is a frequent and respected speaker on the changing information environment and its impact on libraries and collections. His full bio is available in our About section.
Rick’s first post will appear next week.
As an aside, since the Kitchen now sports two Andersons, we were pleased to discover a strange symmetry — Rick moved to Utah from Boston, Kent graduated from the University of Utah and now lives in Boston. The Universal Law of Conservation of Andersons remains unchallenged.
Welcome to the Kitchen, Rick!
Glad to see Rick joining the group! He and I have been having a spirited e-mail debate over the effects of patron-driven acquisitions on scholarly, particularly university press, publishing following our presentation of talks at the Charleston conference that touched on this subject. Maybe he’ll write about it here.
