Title: Impact of Electronic Publishing on the Academic Community (Wenner-Gren International Series)
Description: "Derived from a workshop co-organized by the Wenner-Gren Foundation and Academia Europaea, The Impact of Electronic Publishing on the Academic Community considers the effects on academia of changes in publication methods brought about by the advent of information technology. It is clear that there is a movement towards greater use of electronic media in all academic disciplines, with much of the impetus generated by the new opportunities it brings: e.g. facilities for full searching of text: links to other on-line journals; and links from a particular paper to other related works." "The book begins with a review of current activities, after which experts from a wide variety of backgrounds discuss the plans for implementing electronic publishing in their specific subject areas."--BOOK JACKET.
