Abstract

At the time of this writing, the single biggest library-related news is Elsevier’s acquisition of bepress [sic]. The move startled information pundits on several counts. First, none of us knew about the deal until it had been done. For whatever reason (a slip between the cup and the lip is certainly one possibility), bepress chose to let us let find out via social media.
