Electronic Publishing?
We can say that electronic publishing was born on 4 July 1971 when Project Gutenberg started. It was founded by Michael Hart who was the first to make a digital copy of the Declaration of Independence. This document became the first digitized publication in the world.
Since then, it has grown substantially and evolved into a force that has taken on conventional publishing, encompassing books, magazines, newsletters, brochures, music, video, audio, video games, mobile apps and more.
The term- Electronic Publishing is also known as e-publishing, digital publishing, online publishing, and web publishing for topical searches.
What is Electronic Publishing?
According to F.W. Lancaster, “Electronic publishing is a publication process where the manuscripts are submitted in electronic format, edited, printed, and even distributed to readers (users) in electronic form by employing computer and telecommunication technology.”
Electronic publishing is simply the new arm of the publishing world where literature is published, not in print form with physical pages, but in a digital form where it must be accessed in specific ways.
In a simple term, Electronic publishing is defined as non-print material that is produced digitally and accessed electronically.
The media in electronic publishing can be text, numeric, graphic, still or motion pictures, video, sound or as the case may be, a combination of any or all of these.
Online and Offline Publishing -
E-publishing may be broadly divided into two categories: online and offline publishing.
Online publishing uses computer and communication networks including the Internet, intranet, and extranet for the delivery of the content.
