  • 1.  The Technology Source Needs a New Publisher

    Posted 09-13-2003 08:35
    Yesterday, on a scheduled call to discuss the 2004 publication year, Tom Schumann, MVU VP for Academic Affairs, told me that MVU, currently under a severe budget crunch that includes staff reductions, cannot publish The Technology Source past the Nov/Dec 2003 issue.

    Given this situation, MVU is willing to transfer ownership of the journal to a credible organization in much the same manner that UNC-Chapel Hill transferred it to MVU upon my retirement from UNC (i.e., no cost). If we do not find a publisher, MVU will archive all issues we have published at http://ts.mivu.org so that they will continue to be available to the educational community.

    If you know of an organization/professional association that would be a suitable publisher, please let me know. Better yet, if you personally know someone at the organization/association that you can contact, please let them know of this situation and, if they are interested, ask them to write me.

    Best.

    Sorry about losing you and the newsletter--job well-done. I've have forwarded
    this communication via blind copies to several universities to see if they
    would be interested.
