Abstract

In this paper the author examines the issue concerning the future direction of scholarly publications. The scholarly community has sufficient expertise and incentive to collaborate on the design of a new model for scholarly communication that takes advantage of networking technology and extends the traditional benefits of print publications. The "multicanality" presents a unique approach that integrates the elements of scholarly communication beginning at the author's keyboard and ending in the library's archives. The "multicanality" simplifies the work of authors, editors and librarians, and reduces related publishing expense. The needed technical expertise is already available to begin it.
