An effort to ‘go green’ coupled with tightening budgets, many departments, labs, centers and groups are looking at ways to move their traditionally print-based publications to web-based communications. Karine Joly’s article from June 2009 issue of University Business entitled “2010: Print to Web Odyssey? A five-step plan for assessing and negotiating the transition from print to web publications” gives some great insight into the thoughts and issues surrounding the leap from paper to screen.
Joly provides a nice, light-weight introductory questions to consider about your audience, publication, and your business before making any decisions. This is a great article to begin framing your thoughts of greening your publications and then talking to some of the great on-campus resources available for making your publication webby!
Definitely an article to check out!
