converting student technology handbook into an electronic format
In order to address the rising costs of publishing, Southeast Missouri State University is in the process of converting its 43-page Student Technology Handbook into an interactive, electronic format. This presentation seeks to inform attendees about the new electronic format and its ability to allow users to easily access the information both online or from a DVD. The software used in the conversion as well as a timeline that reflects the time and resources involved will be discussed. Finally, the factors and considerations that need to be made before converting a handbook will be discussed during this presentation. Currently, it costs approximately $1.85 to produce this handbook in the paper format. We expect the new electronic format to cost approximately $0.25 cents offering us a significant savings in our current tight budget situations. The content will encompass all matters of technology that includes open computer labs, help desk, resnet, wireless, e-mail, and more.
