Linne wants Open Access to give individuals a<br />
glimpse into the publishing world.<br />
“My hope is that people get to see some of<br />
the personalities of the people here at <strong>LifeWay</strong><br />
and that they will realize the depth of work<br />
that goes into producing a great resource,”<br />
Linne said.<br />
Besides the working manuscript, members’<br />
community and e-mail opportunities, the<br />
Open Access project features a public blog<br />
area where anyone can stay up-to-date on<br />
the study’s progress through the blog posts of<br />
<strong>LifeWay</strong> employees working on the resource.<br />
In fact, long before the manuscript became<br />
available for purchase, publishing team<br />
members were charting the project’s<br />
progress on the Open Access blog and<br />
through Twitter, a micro-blogging site<br />
that provides daily glimpses into the<br />
project.<br />
The project will continue at least<br />
through December. Shirer is scheduled to<br />
film the digital segments of the study in<br />
December 2009. n<br />
