Terry Anderson presents on the success of Athabasca University Press's open publishing initiative. The message is that sales aren't hurt by open publishing, even when the entire book is available online, and citation factors for journal articles are excellent. The presentation took place at Wisconsin's annual summer conference Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning here in Madison. This conference is memorable to me as the place where I gave a presentation that nobody attended. I'm sure Terry did significantly better.
