FINDING URGENCY

In art and design publishing, the most common genres are: research
publications, art/design catalogues, artists’/designers’ books, and art/design periodicals.

The opportunities and challenges of electronic publishing are different for
each genre.

Common opportunities include searchability, ease of access and distribution, and modularization of content; common difficulties include layout consistency, page numbering and referencing, and large file sizes.

There are 3 ways of creating hybrid books:
One-to-one, where the book is one single
product published in different media.

One-to-many, where the book has different appearances in different media.
One-to-database, where the book is
based on the content of a database
which can be used in a number of ways.

"In today’s digitized world, public debate can erupt from one moment to the next. There’s an increasing need for quality information made available at the right moment, in the right place, and in the right form. Publishers, who have always played an important role in providing such information, are having trouble keeping up with the speed of circulation of information. All too often, one of the three success factors in publishing – speed, quality, and positioning – is obtained only at the expense of the other two. In this project, we develop strategies, prototypes, and methods that make possible an ‘urgent publishing’ practice, and thus counter the speedy information sphere in new and different ways."
