Abstract
The paper starts with a review of print publishing – how the process worked and the skills needed. It then focuses on the future of electronic publishing and the need to standardize the structure and format, including the use of metadata and style sheets. Lastly the focus is on the issues to consider such as new skills needed, additional costs and how to protect your content. The bottom line is that technology is part of life now and there is a need to innovate and conceptualize its use for tomorrow.
