Different Approaches l Critical mass is vital: the TOTAL DATABASE solution l Intermediaries & one-stop-shops: the GATEWAY solution l The GATEWAY-COMMUNITY solution l DISTRIBUTED PUBLISHING: ensure that any visitor to any site can easily reach all important knowledge pointers
Benefits for Researchers l Guarantee of quality l Follow another’s thought processes l Forward and backward reference trails l Huge savings in time & effort l No need to keep great lists of bookmarks l Monopolies less likely
Examples of Distributed Publishing l Io. PP’s Hyper. Cite - www. iop. org l APS’s Link Manager - www. aps. org l ADS - adswww. harvard. edu l Chemport - www. chemport. org

STACKS l Journals tables of contents l Push/pull by email/ftp/web l Select titles, frequency, data content, formats (CSV, SGML), extent (of backfile) l Auto delivery l Embed in one’s systems l Save time & money in data entry, cataloging, linking, indexing l User goes straight to article of choice
Conclusion l Distributed Publishing: l has longevity l does not impinge on business l does not need changes in ownership l is non-threatening to competitors l very useful l advances science & education
