  abstract =     "The connotations of `publishing' are undergoing rapid
                 change as technology itself changes. Placing marks on
                 paper (by whatever means), and distributing the result,
                 are perhaps the first thoughts that the word evokes but
                 nowadays it encompasses an ever-widening range of
                 preparation, presentation and dissemination methods.
                 Video sources, animation, still images and sound
                 samples are now available as methods of imparting
                 knowledge---and all of these are increasingly reliant
                 on technology-dependent delivery systems. The end-user
                 of information contained in such electronic
                 publications has expectations of the delivery and
                 display mechanisms which have been shaped, in the main,
                 by exposure to the broadcast media, whose centrally
                 funded resources are capable of exploiting
                 high-technology solutions. In trying to emulate similar
                 delivery systems at a personal level, the electronic
                 publisher needs to have a general awareness of what
                 present-day technologies can achieve, together with an
                 appreciation of cost and practical issues. This paper
                 gives a brief survey of these newer technologies as
                 seen from today's perspective.",
