Authors, publishers, libraries, and individual consumers have different, sometimes conflicting, needs for scientific and technical information that are met in varying degrees by different publishing media. A number of print and nonprint formats (full-text journals, synopsis journals, microform, CD-ROM, online, etc.) are compared, and combinations…
