Abstract
Of the many conditions that constrain this essay, three are especially relevant for helping the reader to see its perspective. One, in February 1987, I cofounded the journal EXEMPLARIA.1 Two, between 1991 and 1997, I served as an officer of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ)—vice president (1991–1993), president (1993–1995), and chair of the Mediation Board (1995–1997). CELJ has for several decades served the editors of learned journals, primarily in America and Canada, as an organization for sharing information, best practices, policy processes, and the like; it is also the organization to which journals in danger of failing will likely turn soon if not indeed first, as happened when I was president. Three, I have, for above twenty years now, taught in a state university where I have used a state university library both for research and for teaching undergraduate and graduate students.
