....of two radically different affordances paradigms: hypertext based electronic publishing and paper media. Once a URL is committed to paper it cannot be modified and it might be difficult to locate and trace. The emergence of publications that appear both electronically and on paper [6] can help alleviate the tensions between the two formats. It has certainly helped us trace URL references, and we can envisage a system that would keep hypertext references up to date in the non paper part of hybrid publications. In the future, citation linking [5] provided as a service by ....

....are becoming more important in many fields, although they are rarely the central communications media. However, only a few analyses take sufficient account of the ways in which the social dimensions of publications, such as the design of electronic journals, influence their use (see, for example, Kling and Covi, 1995) One common approach to conceptualizing new forms such as electronic journals, on line newspapers, electronic forums, Web sites and digital libraries emphasizes their technologically based information processing features, such as enabling authors and readers to communicate more directly ....
