Chapter 11 Exercises

  • What role do you feel off-line publishers will play in the future? Will small publishers continue to exist? (section 11.2, problem 3)
  • Write a paragraph explaining what you feel is the most effective method for preventing electronic copyright infringement. (section 11.3, problem 7)
  • Is Tom Sawyer available on-line? How about Little Women? What about your favorite book? Do you have to download an entire book at a time? Explain. (section 11.4, problem 12)
  • Compile a list of five on-line magazines and their associated URLs. Indicate which magazines are abridged versions that are designed to sell print subscriptions and which are “genuine” on-line magazines. (section 11.5, problem 16)
  • Compile a list of five newspapers and their associated URLs. Indicate whether they are free, are subscription-based, or require registering in order to browse. (Make sure you have at least one of each type in your list.) For newspapers not requiring a subscription, comment on the advertising you encounter. (section 11.5, problem 17)
  • Add two more recommendations to our list of Electronic Publishing Do’s and Don’ts. (section 11.6, problem 20)
  • Suppose you arrived at a shelter along the Appalachian Trail and were the last person to have room for an entry in the trail register. The trail tradition is that you can leave a new register there, including with it your name and address, and that you mail the existing register back to its owner. When your register came back to you, what issues would be involved if you wanted to display the entire contents of “your register” on-line? How would you display it? Would you need any disclaimers? (section 11.6, problem 21)
