Digital Publishing in Action: Dartmouth Launches online Journal 
of e-Media Studies.

Dartmouth College Library announces the launch of its latest 
digital publication, The Journal of e-Media Studies 
<http://journals.dartmouth.edu/joems/>. Conceived of and edited 
by Mark Williams, Associate Professor of Film and Television 
Studies, this new on-line journal showcases the best new 
scholarly work on current and historical issues regarding 
electronic media.  As an open access publication it is available 
without charge to anyone on the Internet.

"I'm delighted to have such a strong inaugural issue, with a rich 
mix of peer-reviewed essays, reviews and other material" says 
Mark Williams. "Our goal is to promote the academic study of 
electronic media, especially in light of the changes in formal 
and expressive capacities that the rise of digital media has 
brought about. We welcome submissions for future issues."

"The Dartmouth College Library is ambitious to support Dartmouth 
faculty as they explore innovative new forms of scholarly 
communication and publishing," adds David Seaman, Associate 
Librarian for Information Management, "and we are pleased to host 
another electronic journal through the e-publishing platform 
created by our Digital Library Technology Group." This is the 
third journal published by the Library; other online journals 
include Linguistic Discovery and Latino Intersections.
