Abstract:

In recent years, an increasing number of electronic journals have embedded audio, video, and other multimedia within their publication to augment their usefulness. In addition, some have further enhanced access and use with a variety of ‘eclectic' features, fun functionalities, and content, such as advanced navigation; font, format, and display control; modeling; personalization and customization options; and reader participation. In general, most cataloging records, however, do not reflect such components, depriving users of the necessary information and instruction that could facilitate use. A variety of recommendations and options are reviewed as possible solutions.
