Abstract: New technologies, changing economics, and morphing expectations among researchers and librarians have forced publishers to change the way they package, price, and disseminate published works. This article reviews the changes that have had the highest impact, with special emphasis being given to open access publishing, a model that is only ten years old. Past events and trends provide a reference point for describing current publisher offerings, which in turn are used as reference points in identifying possible future challenges for publishers serving the academic library community.
