ABOUT THE FORUM

Web technologies have changed, and continue to change, the way that content
is delivered to libraries and to users. Currently e-journals are delivered
through platforms but the final object is still often a PDF file. E-books
are generally delivered as a downloadable file to a stand-alone e-reader.
However, with the advent of the Open Web Platform using standards such as
HTML5, we are looking at a new era of separating the content from the
container. The web as a distribution platform offers many new opportunities
for more utilization of multimedia and streaming media, embedding of apps,
increased linkages and interoperability between related content, greater
interactivity with content, social sharing of user-generated content related
to a “publication,” text mining, and much more that hasn’t even been
imagined yet.
