The rapid development of information technologies and specifically electronic publishing capabilities - leads many in the library community. There may be ways to ease the pressure. The (presumably) reduced cost associated with editing, producing, storing and distributing electronic content has led to the hope in some quarters that journals might actually decline, or that an alternate, less expensive publishing model might emerge. Electronic publishing provides for an unregulated access to reliable information for academicians, researchers, practioners and policy makers alike from all parts of the world. This review looks at some of the issues related to e-publishing and highlights the nature and scope of the electronic publications.

Abstract


The rapid development of information technologies and specifically electronic publishing capabilities - leads many in the library community. There may be ways to ease the pressure. The (presumably) reduced cost associated with editing, producing, storing and distributing electronic content has led to the hope in some quarters that journals might actually decline, or that an alternate, less expensive publishing model might emerge. Electronic publishing provides for an unregulated access to reliable information for academicians, researchers, practioners and policy makers alike from all parts of the world. This review looks at some of the issues related to e-publishing and highlights the nature and scope of the electronic publications.
