Looking for a Blueprint

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

With the development of new technologies over the previous decade and more moderately priced and faster systems becoming available Electronic Publishing, originally published in 1987, provided a much-needed close look at present and potential publishing techniques at the time. In the view of the author the relatively new electronic and optical media were expected to integrate with or supplement flourishing media such as books, looseleaf publications and journals.

The aim of this book was to guide those people confronted with the new information technology, be they professionals or the generally interested reader, through the complex problems associated with this medium. Topics covered include: the sources from which information may be obtained, which channels and delivery systems should be used, and the problem of abstracting the mass of information available. Emphasis is on the new user and the author attempts to formulate a new appreciation of informational content as a vital source for society. Today, with electronic publishing at the forefront of the publishing industry as a whole, it can be read in its historical context.
