	ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING
                A Day Conference

	FRIDAY 31 JANUARY 1997
		
Organizers:  Marilyn Deegan, Willard McCarty, 
Harold Short (Office of Humanities Communication,
King's College London), and Prof. Warren Chernaik (CES)

	The world of publishing has changed enormously
 in the last few years with the advent of electronic media, and
 it is set to change even more dramatically with the massive
 shift towards electronic communications and the 
pervasiveness of the Internet.  While many aspects of society
 are affected by these changes, it is the effect on academic
 publishing and academic access to resources that we wish
 to consider at this conference.

	Issues particularly significant to publishers and
scholars include the move from print to electronic journals
in order to disseminate materials more rapidly;  new
methods for the presentation of complex scholarly resources;
charging and access policies;  academic credit for electronic
as opposed to print publication;  intellectual and moral rights
in electronic media;  and preservation issues.  We hope that
all these subjects will be vigourously debated.
