4. Network Publishing Technology
• Network publishing is the integration of computer networks
and traditional publishing that creates a basis for a new
mechanism for organized information sharing. Computer
networks can now support interactive text applications across
many countries. Publishers have been exploiting computer
technology to speed printed publications to market. Using
computer networks for the distribution of work takes this
trend to the next logical step. Based on the experience of the
WAIS™, World Wide Web, and Gopher systems on the
Internet, this article will propose the technical rationale for
network publishing and suggest some of the components of a
successful commercial system.

5. Network Publishing Technology
• Publishing Technology plc is a UK-based international provider of content
solutions and services for the publishing industry. Customers include both
academic and trade publishers as well as information providers. Publishing
Technology's customer based includes eight out of ten of the world's
largest publishers.[citation needed] Publishing Technology plc is listed on
the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange
under the ticker PTO.L.
• The company provides a broad set of software systems and services for
the publishing industry, including systems that support the infrastructure
of a publisher (including production, distribution, royalties and editorial)
and the digital delivery of publisher products. Their Publishers
Communication Group division provides sales and marketing consultancy
services for publishers.
• The company operates primarily from the UK (Oxford) and the USA
(Boston, MA and Somerset, NJ), with local offices in Brazil, India, China
and Australia.[citation needed]

6. Future of E-Publication and network
publishing
• Electronic publishing has become common in scientific publishing where it has been argued that peer-
reviewed scientific journals are in the process of being replaced by electronic publishing. It is also
becoming common to distribute books, magazines, and newspapers to consumers through tablet reading
devices, a market that is growing by millions each year,[1] generated by online vendors such as Apple's
iTunes bookstore, Amazon's bookstore for Kindle, and books in the Google Play Bookstore. Market
research suggests that half of all magazine and newspaper circulation will be via digital delivery by the end
of 2015[2] and that half of all reading in the United States will be done without paper by 2015.[3]
Although distribution via the Internet (also known as online publishing or web publishing when in the
form of a website) is nowadays strongly associated with electronic publishing, there are many non
network electronic publications such as Encyclopedias on CD and DVD, as well as technical and reference
publications relied on by mobile users and others without reliable and high speed access to a network.
Electronic publishing is also being used in the field of test-preparation in developed as well as in
developing economies for student education (thus partly replacing conventional books) - for it enables
content and analytics combined - for the benefit of students. The use of electronic publishing for
textbooks may become more prevalent with iBooks from Apple Inc. and Apple's negotiation with the three
largest textbook suppliers in the U.S.[4]
• Electronic publishing is increasingly popular in works of fiction as well as with scientific articles. Electronic
publishers are able to provide quick gratification for late-night readers, books that customers might not be
able to find in standard book retailers (erotica is especially popular in e-book format[citation needed]), and
books by new authors that would be unlikely to be profitable for traditional publishers.

7. Future of E-Publication and network
publishing
• The electronic publishing process follows a traditional publishing process[5] but
differs from traditional publishing in two ways: 1) it does not include using an
offset printing press to print the final product and 2) it avoids the distribution of a
physical product. Because the content is electronic, it may be distributed over the
Internet and through electronic bookstores. The consumer may read the published
content on a website, in an application on a tablet device, or in a PDF on a
computer. In some cases the reader may print the content using a consumer-grade
ink-jet or laser printer or via a print on demand system.
• Distributing content electronically as apps has become popular due to the rapid
consumer adoption of smartphones and tablets. At first, native apps for each
mobile platform were required to reach all audiences, but in an effort toward
universal device compatibility, attention has turned to using HTML5 to create web
apps that can run on any browser.
• The benefit of electronic publishing comes from using three attributes of digital
technology: XML tags to define content,[6] style sheets to define the look of
content, and metadata to describe the content for search engines. With the use of
tags, style sheets, and metadata, this enables reflowable content that adapts to
various reading devices or delivery methods.

8. Network Publishing
• Network publishing is the integration of computer networks
and traditional publishing that creates a basis for a new
mechanism for organized information sharing. Computer
networks can now support interactive text applications across
many countries. Publishers have been exploiting computer
technology to speed printed publications to market. Using
computer networks for the distribution of work takes this
trend to the next logical step. Based on the experience of the
WAIS™, World Wide Web, and Gopher systems on the
Internet, this article will propose the technical rationale for
network publishing and suggest some of the components of a
successful commercial system.

9. Aggregators of E-Publishing
Aggregators play a major role in library e-book
spending decisions today. This is largely due to the
broad selection, access models and workflow
solutions we are able to provide. As processes and
workflows around e-books are still forming,
aggregators offer time and cost savings by
standardising workflows, integrating with various ILS
suppliers and enabling libraries to acquire a broad
selection of titles, from thousands of publishers, with
a common acquisition and management workflow
and interface.

10. Aggregators of E-Publishing
• Aggregators also offer libraries a great range of choices with
different access models available for different subsets of
content – whether subscription, upfront purchase or demand-
driven acquisition (DDA). Libraries can choose different access
models for different content to suit their specific access needs
and budgets.
• We work with most academic publishers and many of these
publishers also offer their content through their own
platforms. To me, this represents a very healthy market. We
want to work in a market where libraries have many choices
as to how and where they buy their content. A healthy market
full of choice drives innovation, efficiency and ensures that
the pricing remains fair.

11. Negotiations
• Distributive negotiation is also sometimes called positional or hard-bargaining
negotiation. It tends to approach negotiation on the model of haggling in a
market. In a distributive negotiation, each side often adopts an extreme position,
knowing that it will not be accepted, and then employs a combination of guile,
bluffing, and brinkmanship in order to cede as little as possible before reaching a
deal. Distributive bargainers conceive of negotiation as a process of distributing a
fixed amount of value.[3]
• The term distributive implies that there is a finite amount of the thing being
distributed or divided among the people involved. Sometimes this type of
negotiation is referred to as the distribution of a "fixed pie." There is only so much
to go around, but the proportion to be distributed is variable. Distributive
negotiation is also sometimes called win-lose because of the assumption that one
person's gain results in another person's loss. A distributive negotiation often
involves people who have never had a previous interactive relationship, nor are
they likely to do so again in the near future. Simple everyday examples would be
buying a car or a house.

12. Negotiations
• Negotiation can take a wide variety of forms, from a trained negotiator
acting on behalf of a particular organization or position in a formal setting,
to an informal negotiation between friends. Negotiation can be contrasted
with mediation, where a neutral third party listens to each side's
arguments and attempts to help craft an agreement between the
parties.[1] It can also be compared with arbitration, which resembles a
legal proceeding. In arbitration, both sides make an argument as to the
merits of their case and the arbitrator decides the outcome. This
negotiation is also sometimes called positional or hard-bargaining
negotiation.
• Negotiation theorists generally distinguish between two types of
negotiation. Different theorists use different labels for the two general
types and distinguish them in different ways.

13. Open Access Initiatives (OAI)
An old tradition and a new technology have
converged to make possible an unprecedented public
good. The old tradition is the willingness of scientists
and scholars to publish the fruits of their research in
scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of
inquiry and knowledge. The new technology is the
internet. The public good they make possible is the
world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-
reviewed journal literature and completely free and
unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars,
teachers, students, and other curious minds.

14. Open Access Initiatives (OAI)
There are many degrees and kinds of wider and easier access
to this literature. By 'open access' to this literature, we mean
its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users
to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to
the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass
them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful
purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other
than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet
itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution,
and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to
give authors control over the integrity of their work and the
right to be properly acknowledged and cited.[

15. Open Access Initiatives (OAI)
• An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented
public good. The old tradition is the willingness of scientists and scholars to publish the fruits
of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of inquiry and
knowledge. The new technology is the internet. The public good they make possible is the
world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature and completely
free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other
curious minds. Removing access barriers to this literature will accelerate research, enrich
education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and the poor with the rich, make this
literature as useful as it can be, and lay the foundation for uniting humanity in a common
intellectual conversation and quest for knowledge.
• For various reasons, this kind of free and unrestricted online availability, which we will call
open access, has so far been limited to small portions of the journal literature. But even in
these limited collections, many different initiatives have shown that open access is
economically feasible, that it gives readers extraordinary power to find and make use of
relevant literature, and that it gives authors and their works vast and measurable new
visibility, readership, and impact. To secure these benefits for all, we call on all interested
institutions and individuals to help open up access to the rest of this literature and remove
the barriers, especially the price barriers, that stand in the way. The more who join the effort
to advance this cause, the sooner we will all enjoy the benefits of open access.
