|
Maybe you're a professor who has an idea for a journal you'd like to start at your university. Or maybe you're a graduate student looking to prove yourself by publishing your research. Or maybe you're a college librarian hoping to start a newsletter that will raise your library's visibility on campus. No matter the reason, you're writing something that needs to find an audience. Why not publish it at the library? As digital tools get easier to use, many institutions are starting their own publishing programs in an effort to offer more varied services to their communities.

Creating compelling user experiences for mobile environments has been the goal of every sector of the publishing industry for more than a decade. Ebooks and newspapers have found a ready and growing market, but magazines have been slower to capture a foothold in the mobile marketplace--until now.
