DESCRIPTION: Recent developments in technology are creating new, low-cost publishing opportunities for schools, small presses and archives. The practice of print-on-demand, which allows for single copies of books to be published, eliminates many of the costs of traditional publishing, making it possible to produce high quality publications in very small quantities.

Online journal systems, many of which are open source, bring the publication of peer-reviewed journals within easy reach of faculty and students. Some journal systems are integrating with online repositories to deliver text and media rich publications that take full advantage of being online.

Attendees will see examples of projects using these new technologies and should expect to leave with at least one idea of a project they can consider at their institution.
