The role of the Publisher in the digital future

Please apologize cross-posting, as this message is mailed to the subscribers

Happy new year to all of you!

I've been invited to present a paper at a seminar at Nobelforum, Karolinska
Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden on January 29 1997 organized by Kibic,
Karolinska Institutet, Library and Information Center.

The title of the seminar is SCIENCE WITHOUT JOURNALS?! And the title
of my paper is THE ROLE OF THE PUBLISHER IN THE DIGITAL
FUTURE.

Representing Scandinavian University Press, I have a fairly good idea of the
publisher's role in the digital era. However, I would like to learn more about
the expectations of each and everyone of you.

Please spend a few minutes and give me some input about what you regard
as the publishers dos and don'ts. What would you like to see and what
would you definitely not like to be presented? Please also indicate your
perspective (librarian, scientist, student, etc.).

Thank you very much for your attention.

Best regards 
Harald Joa
New Media and Marketing Manager
