   ACM SIGGRAPH to Publish Non-Print Special Issue of Computer Graphics

       Focus to be on non-print publishing; articles are solicited

In the spring of 1993, SIGGRAPH plans to publish a non-print special
issue of Computer Graphics as an experiment in electronic publishing.
This will not be a numbered issue of the newsletter and so will not
contain many of the normal SIGGRAPH news items, but we plan to include
some information of timely interest and a set of articles on non-print
publishing. The issue will be available by ftp or e-mail from
siggraph.org.

   Following the successful pattern of the SIGGRAPH '91 panels
transcripts, we plan to make the contents available in several
formats.  Articles may include text, monochrome or color figures, or
additional material if it can be used on a wide range of platforms).
In the ftp area, text will be provided in plain ASCII, rtf (rich text
format), and PostScript formats, and images will be provided in tiff
format and possibly other formats.  Versions for e-mail will be in a
subset of these formats, with images converted to ASCII formats as far
as possible to allow e-mail access.

   We invite anyone with experience in non-print publishing of text
and/or images, or with an understanding of the issues involved in such
publishing, to send us articles for this publication. Please contact
Steve Cunningham (cunningham@siggraph.org) or Susan Mair
(mair@siggraph.org) if you are interested in providing an article.
You are encouraged to contact us early to discuss your ideas, and the
deadline for completed articles is April 6, 1993.  We will not ask for
copyright transfer for articles in this publication and will state
clearly with each article that the copyright is retained by the
author.

   We are very interested in how the graphics community will react to
this publication.  We expect publication to be on on siggraph.org by
early May , 1993. After that date, to check if the publication is
there, you should do an anonymous ftp to siggraph.org and download the
files:

      /publications/May_93_online/README
      /publications/May_93_online/contents

or send e-mail to archive-server@siggraph.org with the Subject line

      send May_93_online index

We will also include a reader survey in this publication because we
want your feedback on how to use this additional channel to
communicate with you.
