The Columbia Guide to Digital Publishing

Contending that "[t]oday, virtually all publishing is digital to some extent...," a past president of the Society for Scholarly Publishing introduces a guide that, rather than being a how-to manual, addresses the broadening needs of publishers in an age in which multiple modes of publishing coexist. Contributors to 15 chapters explain digital publishing's technical infrastructure, markup languages, content production and distribution, multimedia aspects, electronic books, accessibility, legal, and related issues. Includes an annotated table of contents, glossary, and updatable online version. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
