Title
A Guide to Open and Hybrid Publishing
Description
The world of publishing is undergoing dramatic changes, with the emergence of new publishing platforms, the increasing need for cross-media content and the transformation of the book into an ‘open medium’. The aim of this guide is to explain the concept of ‘open and hybrid publishing’ and to encourage various parties –students, educators, artists, curators, independent publishers, cultural heritage managers – to become involved in open and hybrid publishing themselves.
Using two case studies of multi-platform publishing projects, this Guide to Open and Hybrid Publishing (Or how to create an image-based, open access book in 10 easy steps) demystifies the process of publishing online and offline today.
Promoting the creative reuse of the available cultural resources, it draws attention to the complex issue of copyright when it comes to publishing written texts – as well as images. It also discusses the various business approaches that ‘open and hybrid publishing’ can embrace.
