Description:

XML continues to be at the center of discussion about the future of publishing and the digital life of our content.  Many university presses have adopted XML workflows, but others still question the value of an XML workflow in light of financial and logistical obstacles.  This webinar brings together panelists from different-sized presses who share how they arrive at their respective workflows.  Topics of discussion include:

>What is an XML workflow, and is it really worth the investment?
>Alternatives to an XML workflow
>Digital workflows adopted by Princeton, Chicago, Duke, New Mexico, and West Virginia

The panelists will advise on the practicality of their models for others presses, and they will offer tips for assessing whether an XML workflow is appropriate based on a press's size and resources.
