Evolution of an Electronic Book: The Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography

Abstract(s)

The Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography (SEPB) presents selected English-language articles, books, and other printed and electronic sources that are useful in understanding scholarly electronic publishing efforts on the Internet. Most sources have been published between 1990 and the present; however, a limited number of key sources published prior to 1990 are also included. Where possible, links are provided to sources that are freely available on the Internet. SEPB includes "Scholarly Electronic Publishing Resources," a selective directory of related Web sites, and the "Scholarly Electronic Publishing Weblog," a list of new resources. The primary version of SEPB is an HTML document; however, to facilitate printing, an Adobe Acrobat version of the bibliography is also available. This paper takes a detailed look at the development of the bibliography, and it presents cumulative use statistics for the period October 1996-December 2000.
