Abstract

Recent years have seen dramatic changes in publishing; for a while it seemed that digital technology would supplant paper media entirely. This paper reviews some of these changes, drawing on examples of systems where the authors have been involved in development or design. We touch on various issues including curation and studentgenerated content and the way books can become the locus of community discussions and learning. Recent reports suggest a resurgence in physical book sales, and advantages of physical study methods such as paper note taking; this suggests new challenges for digital systems to augment rather than replace physical books.
