The Army Study for User Conversion to Micropublications (IMPACT II).

Abstract

This study addresses the subject of converting users of Army Publications from a paper mode to a microform mode. The primary objective of the study was the design of a detailed, user oriented, implementation plan for the incremental conversion and Army-wide distribution of all applicable Department of Army publications in microfiche, using the most cost effective approach. A recommended micropublishing implementation approach is described. During the study several Army publications were created in microform, each had unique elements or characteristics which presented opportunities for publication utility improvement. Areas covered were: indexing, formatting, font and point size selection, publications automation, publication data base management, automation, and initial and demand distribution. Additionally, four microform creation processes were tested to take fullest advantage of existing micrographic state-of-the-art technology. All investigative work conducted in the course of the study and the results produced are contained in this study report. (Author)
