Electronic publishing has been gaining ground in recent years and is now a recognized part of the digital world. In the most comprehensive assessment of electronic publishing to date, thirty-one scholars, librarians, and publishers focus specifically on scholarly publishing. They analyze a number of case studies and offer original insights on a range of topics, including the financial costs involved, market forces, appropriate technological standards, licensing issues, intellectual property, copyright and associated user rights, and the changing roles of researchers, publishers, and librarians.
The editors begin with an overview of scholarly communication and develop a novel interpretation of the important role that technology now plays. Many of the following chapters are based on actual electronic publishing projects in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, so the evidence and data are drawn from real-life experiences. Of special value are the attempts to measure costs and patterns of usage of electronic publishing and digital libraries.
Electronic publishing has moved well past the experimental stage, and with numerous projects under way this seems an appropriate time to assess its impact on the academic world, from teaching to research to administration.

This outstanding introductory primer demystifies and explains T EX, an advanced and widely popular typesetting and page make-up system that is especially designed to facilitate scientific and technical publishing. The TEX system is highly versatile, designed for use on over 50 different types of personal, mini-, and mainframe computers. The book immediately provides the reader with sufficient information to begin the majority of tasks which he or she most likely wishes to tackle. Accessibly written at an introductory level, the book explains how high-quality results can be obtained by someone with only a little T EX background. In a straightforward manner, it details why T EX approaches its subject in the way it does, and provides the "context" into which it fits. Special emphasis is placed on document structure and practical work. In fact, not only is this book a "primer," but it is a "plain" T EX primer. Wherever T EX is running, it comes with at least one basic style definition, called "plain." Plain T EX is the common starting point for T EX users and can be extended or modified to suit individual needs. Thus, with the aid of this book, scientists and researchers preparing their own books and papers, or technical typists used to the conventions and jargon of their field, will find little difficulty in adopting T EX's approach. Students and professionals involved in document preparation or desk-top publishing will also find this an extremely useful volume.

This book covers all aspects of computer document preparation text processing and printing. Computers are being used increasingly in the processing of documents, from simple textual material, such as letters and memos, to complete books with mathematical formulae and graphics. The material may be extensively edited and manipulated on the computer before subsequent output on media such as typewriters, laser printers or photocomposers. This volume contains contributions from several established leaders in the field, and a number of research articles referred by an international programme committee. As such, the book gives a good impression of the state-of-the art in this area, which is of major importance in this 'electronic age' where on-line information retrieval and electronic publishing will increasingly affect our everyday life.

Seit vielen Jahren spielen Tex und LaTex eine wichtige Rolle bei der Erstellung hochwertiger Textausgabe; dabei ist LaTex der vom Anwender verwendete Textformatierer, w hrend Tex im Hintergrund nahezu unbemerkt den von LaTex aufbereiteten Text in Stil, Qualit t und Pr zision eines Schriftsetzers setzt. Ferner gibt es eine gro e Anzahl weiterer Produkte im Umfeld von Tex und LaTex, wie Bildschirm- oder Druckertreiber, Tools zur Erstellung von Grafiken, HTML- oder PDF-Seiten sowie zur Erzeugung von Schriften, die von einem gro en Anwenderkreis eingesetzt werden. Selbst eine in Java geschriebene Tex-Version, die ber das Internet auf Quelldateien, Makros oder Fonts zugreifen kann, ist mittlerweile verf gbar. In dem vorliegenden Buch werden aktuelle Entwicklungen von LaTex, wie z.B. PDF-Tex und PDF-LaTex, Metafond und Metapost vorgestellt. Weiterhin werden wichtige Tools zur Erzeugung von HTML- und PDF-Seiten detailliert beschrieben sowie Softwaresysteme, die f r LaTex-Anwendungen bedeutsam sind, dargestellt.

This guide to preparing manuscripts on computer offers authors and publishers practical assistance on how to use authors' disks or tapes for typesetting. When the thirteenth edition of "The Chicago Manual of Style" was published in 1982, the impact of personal computers on the publishing process had just begun to be felt. This new book supplements information in the "Chicago Manual" by covering the rapidly changing subject of electronic manuscripts. Since the early 1980s more and more authors have been producing manuscripts on computers and expecting their publishers to make use of the electronic version. For a number of reasons, including the proliferation of incompatible machines and software, however, publishers have not always found it easy to work with electronic manuscripts. The University of Chicago Press has been doing so since 1981, and in this book passes on the results of six years' experience with preparing such manuscripts and converting them to type.

The newest reference in the practical TIPS series, Computer Tips focuses on specific computer-aided design and production tasks and issues for those who work on either the Macintosh or the PC platform for print or electronic publication. Among the topics covered are electronic file types and uses, workspace organization, font management, data compression and storage, working with Postscript, special effects, scanning and resolution, prepress, color calibration, modems, multimedia, and web site design, with emphasis on how to adapt traditional techniques and materials to digital use and use low-tech equipment for high-tech results. A glossary of essential terms and list of resources is included.

The computer-centered method of getting from the author's conception to completed print-or electronic-book has come to dominate publishing, involving not only the setting of type but also the preparation of manuscripts, editing, illustration creation and processing, page makeup, color separation, and preparation for printing. Even more significant than its use for these individual procedures is the computer's role in creating an integrated system that is greater than the sum of its parts. Covering all the publishing processes up to distribution, Bookmaking addresses the needs of publishing professionals, whether they do the work themselves in-house or have it done to their specifications by outside suppliers. But this new edition is not only about technological change; all aspects of bookmaking have been reconsidered. The text that served the industry for nearly three decades has been updated where appropriate, while still providing the unchanging facts and principles of book craft.
