On-line Textbooks, Dial-a-Book, and Monographic Databases

Stanley R. Greenfield
Vice President
Ziff Communications


Stanley Greenfield will present three new projects from Ziff Communications.  
He will discuss a project where on-line textbooks can be searched, downloaded 
and manipulated.  These texts can contain hot links to glossaries, coursepack 
material and databases.  He will explain Dial-a-Book (a complement to 
Dial-a-Movie), a service for the sale and downloading of complete texts with 
appropriate viewers.  And he will discuss how Monographic databases, oft 
overlooked and latecomers to the digital bibliographic world, will be available 
soon.


Stanley R. Greenfield is Vice President of the Ziff Communications Company, 
parent of the Ziff-Davis Publishing Company (PC Magazine, PC Week).  He has 
been responsible for more than half a dozen reference books, two of which were 
named "Outstanding Reference Book of the Year" by the  American Library 
Association.  From 1975-79, he was responsible for the acquisition of all 
scientific and technical materials from the United States on behalf of the 
People's Republic of China.  Greenfield has an A.B. in Physics from Johns 
Hopkins, and an MBA with distinction from the Harvard Graduate School of 
Business  Administration.  He has initiated and taught a course on the 
information industry at the Publishing Center of NYU.
