Subject: Survey for APA Professional Affairs forum
American Philological Association
Professional Affairs Forum
For the third presentation in the APA forum described below, we are

classics faculty at the ranks of instructor through full professor to take
this survey, located at http://www.stoa.org/apa/
Electronic Publishing and the Classics Profession
Sponsored by the APA Committee on Professional Matters
Organized by Barbara F. McManus (APA Vice President for Professional
Matters) and Ross Scaife
This Professional Matters forum will present an overview of the most
significant aspects of electronic publication for classicists. University
presses and scholarly journals are facing severe economic pressures to
curtail publications in the humanities at the same time as publication
requirements for tenure and promotion spiral upward. As a profession,
Classics has not yet formally addressed this issue despite its especially
negative effect on smaller disciplines. Electronic publication offers one
possible way to alleviate some of the worst effects of the crisis in
scholarly publishing. Speakers will explain the potential and challenges
of scholarly electronic publication with a view toward generating lively
discussion with the audience.
