The Journal of Electronic Publishing contacted us recently, looking for an update to a paper about online publishing I wrote and presented in 1993, and which this Michigan journal published 20 years ago. Also presenting on the same panel with me at that the Graphics Communication Association Online Publishing Conference was Tim Berners-Lee, showing slides about the brand new World Wide Web. It feels like, back then, we were standing on the shore of a vast, newly discovered virtual sea. Can we answer the question in the paper’s title yet? Am thinking about how to update this paper in the weeks ahead. Watch this space…. Laura
