New York reports - Robert Kaplan's frivolous book "is really nothing", the description of zero is really suitable. He is a Harvard mathematician who likes to leave behind in the book a rich and knowledgeable author who can write inspiration and source of ideas.
It was skipped by Kaplan's 225-page book, including a 78-page bibliography, all of which can be seen on the website of his publisher, Oxford University's Printing Department.
Bibliography - The traditional architecture support system for authors has been moved from the preservation of books to digital web pages. The publisher said that they included a bookmark with a bibliographic URL in the book so that anyone who wants to read it can easily get it from the Internet. The benefit of the exchange is that the book becomes smaller, cheaper, and portable.
Surprisingly, some authors are very supportive of such changes, but there are also strong opposition.
Larry Cohen, author of a print department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said, "Of course we encourage our authors to do everything they can to replace these academic and popular trade books." The length of the paper has been getting longer and longer, and we have been trying to find out and agree how the book can be divided into parts, which will make the underage readers interested. ”
However, not everyone agrees with this idea.
"I think that's really scary," says Peter Lyman, a professor at the University of California's University of California's School of Library and Library Studies. "As long as it's natural, don't encounter acid and put it under natural temperature and humidity. Books will be a stable media propaganda tool. Digital technology is changing too fast, and many websites have closed down in about 18 months. The website is too illusory, unlike books that can extend for decades or centuries." .
Since the 18th century, bibliography has supported academic bibliography by organizing original unorganized intellectual records. The influence of reference tables, head-ups, and interviews on new books is a path for scholars and readers to enable them to obtain evidence of support in theory and controversy.
Deciding to cut the amount of books has caused a strong debate among authors, publishers, and file holders, and what is most irritating to them is that publishing through the Internet will cause some books to start omitting paper.
"I think the release of a book is based on questions," said a librarian at the University of California at Berkeley. "We don't know which kind of publications, such as books or networks, are continuous. However, we don't know how to save the bytes of the network for hundreds of years; we only know that paper can be stored for a long time, and the digital network platform. The facilities are so illusory; can you know that you can still read these things online after 15 years?"
This issue is still a question everyone, for example, the Book Association is working hard to raise funds and hope to find a program to save digital data. ”
Although the answer has not yet been found, some publishers still believe that the use of disassembly type to sell, in the appearance of packaging and price will be more popular. It is a natural choice that some of the information attached to the book is omitted, because only a small percentage of readers will actually read this part. The word "bibliography" is derived from the Greek word "bibliographia". The literal interpretation is the writing of books. Scholars often interpret the word catalogue as an academic tool.
Some authors are proud of the major discoveries of this source, as they allow them to extend the scope of their work and support the credibility of their theory. The author, Jill Watts, was asked by her publisher (Printing Department of Oxford University) about the idea that the bibliography and notes were electronically segmented by the Internet. Watts, an associate professor at California State University, said: "She was very surprised when she heard the idea and asked some authors and scholars to give advice." She said: "If such academic tools disappear, then we will Going back to the early time when the author couldn’t prove the source but said any comments they wanted to say."
After Watts and the editor at Oxford University reached an agreement, she decided to include the bibliography and find the number of pages for writing notes and this article instead of deleting.
One reason why the University of Oxford's printing department is very enthusiastic about keeping notes and bibliographies is that they often feel financial pressure. In order to expand their relationship with readers, these publishers try to find a market that is more popular, which means that packaging is not so important and not practical.
The printing department at Rutger University is beginning to experiment with this idea. The publisher asked one of their authors, Stephen Brush, to streamline a newly calibrated 500-page textbook, "Medical: Human Adventure."
The University of Maryland's history professor, Brush, and the publisher reached an agreement to use his 100-page bibliography to publish and replace the textbook instead of rewriting and organizing the textbook. He said: It can still be seen regardless of whether it is operated or not, even if it is not approved by the network moderator or publisher. "This kind of shift is like a little baby wants to go to something bigger." He said: "What I am worried about is the pressure to put the whole book on the Internet."
Who is going to maintain the website? Does it raise more questions?! If this is the responsibility of the author, what happens when he is sick or dead?! If this is the job of the publisher, what about the publisher’s failure? ?!"
The MIT Printing Department encountered some problems. After a professor (textbook author) died, while unable to maintain the website, many readers complained why the bibliography that was posted on it could not be obtained.
"There is really nothing" Kaplan, the author of this book, still uses his experience evaluation results in the disassembly book. His electronic reference makes his references more organized~ usually with the feedback of his readers. And he believes that a lighter style of this book will have unpredictable success.
Kaplan said: "There will be no other claims." "Because publishers want to gain benefits in large and heavy books, it is impossible to succeed. I don't want my book to be released without reference to bibliographic support. In the arguments and arguments, we are like nerds," said Kaplan's editorial executive at Oxford, Peter Ginna. "Kaplan's book is the best book that our company sells, and the fifth edition has been revised."
However, there are still some publications that need to work hard to improve. The Italian and German translations forgot to include bookmarks for the existence of the website in the book. Some readers who re-read Kaplan's book criticized how there was no bibliography in the book, but did not know that the bookmarks were marked with other items such as bibliography that were available on the Internet.
