               _ Seize the E!: The Eclectic Journal and Its Ramifications_

         I am pleased to announce the availability of my PowerPoint
    presentation prepared for NASIG 2002 Transforming Serials: The
    Revolution Continues

                             [ http://www.nasig.org/wm/ ]

    SUMMARY. In recent years, an increasing number of electronic journals
    have embedded audio, video, and other multimedia within their
    publication to augment their usefulness. In addition, some have further
    enhanced access and use with a variety of 'eclectic' features,
    functionalities, and content, such as advanced navigation; font, format,
    and display control; modeling; personalization and customization
    options; and reader participation. In general, most cataloging records,
    however, do not reflect such components, depriving users of the
    necessary information and instruction that could facilitate use. A
    variety of recommendations and options are reviewed as possible
    solutions.

       _Seize the E!: The Eclectic Journal and Its Ramifications_ is
    available at:

              [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/SeizeTheE.ppt ]

          In addition to relevant screen prints and summaries, the
    presentation includes appropriate sound and special effects [Note: Use
    those headphones/speakers for full enjoyment; 3D glasses are optional
    [:->]

          A companion paper for the presentation has been prepared and
    submitted for formal publication in the conference proceedings;
    look for it in the NASIG 2002 issues in The Serials Librarian in
    2003.

          Joy!

    "The future of scholarship will be both diverse and complicated, with
    rich options for publication using a variety of multimedia and eclectic
    features, functionalities, and content. To facilitate access and use,
    catalogers and cataloging should identify and delineate these
    components"
