The British Academy has released a major policy review report on E-resources for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. As the report says "There are significant developments in resource technology, in publishing practice, and in intellectual property, that have major implications for higher education and related research, and demand action."
The level of coordination of British efforts in this area is high, with funders obviously meeting and discussing regularly. The report makes several interesting conclusions, including calling for continued support of non-electronic publishing, particularly for monographs.
