ELVYN - Publisher and Library Working Towards the Electronic Distribution and Use of Journals
Overview It has been suggested that network publishing allows the traditional intermediaries of publisher and library to be dropped from the scholarly communication chain. The present paper reports on Project ELVYN which is investigating a scenario in which both publisher and library are retained in the distribution and use of electronic journals. The implementation of the journal at Loughborough, one of seven test site libraries, is described. Here the text is received in SGML, converted to HTML and viewed using the NCSA Mosaic World Wide Web browser. Finally, the relationships between publisher, library and user are discussed and it is concluded that although the technology exists to support electronic journals, a range of economic and human factors problems remain to be solved. Keywords: Electronic journals, SGML, HTML, Mosaic, World Wide Web, economic models, usability.
