Dear List Members,
For those of you interested in the subject of indexing electronic journals
and how that compares to traditional journals there is currently an ongoing
online discussion that has prompted many responses including the following
quotes:
"What is the logic of an 'issue'?"
"A use for contents listings that still remains is marketing."
"...the way people approach (printed) journals varies very much with their
discipline."
"I see no reason why the same process could not be applied to e-journals."
"Why shouldn't the article become the unit of publication in the electronic
environment?"
If you would like to read the comments in full and/or contribute your own
ideas please access the Internet Free-Press web site at
http://www.free-press.com/forums and follow the link to 'Talkback'. Postings
on this particular topic can be found under the subject heading 'Indexes'
though there are many more topics to choose from.
