Squirreling Away: Managing Information Resources & Libraries. Against the Grain

A set of columns loosely based on the world of business and management within the library and scholarly publishing space. Been a fun project since 2018.

These appear in Against the Grain, the journal from the Charleston Conference. From the Journal: "Against the Grain (ISSN: 1043-2094) is your key to the latest news about libraries, publishers, book jobbers, and subscription agents. Our goal is to link publishers, vendors, and librarians by reporting on the issues, literature, and people that impact the world of books and journals."
