Internet Librarian International 2000 Conference - 20-22 March 2000Brian Kelly and Bernadette Daly co-authored a paper on Electronic Magazines: Issues In Implementation which was delivered by Brian Kelly at the Internet Librarian International Conference held at Olympia, London on 20-22nd March 2000. The talk was given from 4.00-4.45 on Monday 20th March.
This session provides an overview of some of the prominent electronic journals in the library/networking communities. It focuses on common issues such as electronic format, access, language, retrospective adjustments, delivery, etc. It highlights, in brief, case studies of magazines that have addressed some of these issues and provides basic guidelines for implementing an electronic magazine in 2000.
The paper is based on UKOLN's experiences in providing two web magazines which are aimed at the library and information community (Ariadne and Exploit Interactive) and on plans for a third magazine which is aimed at the museums and archives community.
The paper will be of interest to organisations which provide or are thinking of providing a web magazine.
