_Management of Plug-Ins_
As part of my overview/review of the Ramifications of Multimedia in Electronic Journals, I am greatly interested in learning about the management of the installations of plug-ins / helper applications to support the Multimedia in these journals in academic and research libraries/ institutions.
I am interested in managing the plug-ins / helper applications for any and all types of multimedia found in these e-journals, notably, audio, video, animation, VRML, and animation., as well the management of
plug-ins in general.
For examples, see my M-Bed(sm) registry of
embedded multimedia electronic journals at
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/M-Bed.htm
Are the plug-ins installed and/or maintained from a central server, or are they installed machine-by- machine? Otherwise?
In general, what are the issues faced in installing and maintaining such plug-ins? The associated costs? Policy issues?
As Always, Any and All contributions, comments, questions, or critiques are Most Welcome!
