Goals of the Mobile Edition of A Writer's Resource


The Mobile Edition of A Writer's Resource by Elaine P. Maimon and Janice H. Peritz is a version of the printed book in a convenient, interactive electronic format. The Mobile Edition, which provides the content from the documentation and grammar tabs (6-8 and 10-13) of the paper book, offers the following advantages to students and instructors:

1. Portability:
This convenient, pocket-sized version provides a connection to the handbook's content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once it has been loaded onto a student's or professor's own personal digital assistant (PDA), this valuable writing resource is at his or her fingertips in a format that fits easily into a pocket or purse.

2. Information Access:
Not only can students look up information even when they might not have the paper book on hand, but the technologically enhanced, digital user interface provides a fast, efficient way for them to locate the help they need using the QuickNav function, the hyperlinked table of contents, or the index. These features are described in detail in the Mobile Edition's preface.

3. Instant Cross Referencing:
Because of the convenience of hyperlinking and "auto-reverse," (i.e., the back button), students using the Mobile Edition can take advantage of the wealth of cross references throughout the book by instantly linking to additional information, then easily returning to the original "page."
