Review
The book begins with an extended discussion of the nature of publishing. Kalmbach jettisons the traditional components (writer, text, reader, etc.) of a published work for a more current model, defining the components as being the publisher, the document, the reproduction/distribution process, and the user. These terms are more applicable to modern publications, which may never involve ink, paper, or even traditional text, but may include images or sounds on a CD-ROM or Web page. Kalmbach then discusses how the advancement of publishing technology has put more sophisticated publishing power into the hands of individuals and enabled them to reach progressively wider audiences.
He examines what the publishing power of the personal computer means in an academic setting, comparing and contrasting the results of using computers in the classroom to early experiments where typewriters were used for educational purposes. --Elizabeth Lewis
