Interesting reads today

Some of the more interesting or intriguing postings and news stories relevant to higher education librarianship:

• When University Presses Fail - with a nice comparison of UP's to sports programs
• On a related note: an announcement of the launch of Books at JSTOR, providing online access to the works of university presses, including University of Texas.  While I doubt many of these presses are in jeopardy of failure, I wonder if collaborations with such providers as JSTOR might help troubled UPs stay afloat by reducing their costs and expanding their exposure.
• Two items on the reported failure of remediation - particularly relevant to community colleges - one focusing on the primary attackers, Complete College America (funded in part by the Gates Foundation); the other focusing on the interpretation of the research behind the attack
• The results of the Salem Press Library Blog vote had these winners (not complete list):
• In the Library with a Lead Pipe
• Musings about Librarianship - this is Aaron Tay's blog from University of Singapore.
• Librarian by Day
