ASSESSING THE REALITY OF NEW MARKETS AND NEW MEDIA
The Transition to Electronic Publishing Continues

Society for Scholarly Publishing
18th Annual Meeting, May 29-31, 1996
Minneapolis Hilton and Towers, Minneapolis, MN

The 18th Annual Meeting of the Society for Scholarly Publishing will give us
an opportunity to assess the reality of electronic publishing while
providing practical tools to face the challenges of the future. How are
publishers successfully rethinking the market, the product, and the process
during this time of change? How successful are these new products? Are we
being pushed by our customers to develop new products, or pulled by the
promise of new technology? What price have we paid for developing them?

Join publishers, scholars, and librarians in a series of honest, lively
discussions that focus on how to succeed as publishers and professionals
during this dynamic state of tension known as transition. Together we can
assess how far we have come, what has really changed in how we do our work,
and what knowledge and skills we need to succeed in the future.
