The new issue of Booklist is out and contains an Off The Shelf column, “The Challenge of New Editions.” In the article I discuss the realities of updating new editions of reference books in an online environment. Continuously updated database, new editions, access to multiple editions, and weeding e-reference books are discussed. Content for the article was obtained from a survey of reference publishers in March 2011. Other Off The Shelf columns are available on the publications page.
