OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS TO PUBLISH _POSTMODERN CULTURE_
Oxford University Press and _Postmodern Culture_ are pleased to
announce a new partnership in electronic publishing. Beginning
in January of 1993, Oxford will publish _Postmodern Culture_,
marking the first time a university press has published a
networked, fully electronic journal.
_Postmodern Culture_ is a peer-reviewed electronic journal of
interdisciplinary criticism on contemporary literature, theory,
and culture. It is currently published at North Carolina State
University, and is supported by the NCSU Dept. of English, the
NCSU Libraries, NCSU Campus and Engineering Computing, the NCSU
College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the NCSU Research
Office. _Postmodern Culture_ has appeared three times a year
since September of 1990; at present, it has over 2,300
subscribers in more than 40 countries.
Oxford University Press established an electronic publishing
research unit in late 1985 and released their first electronic
products in 1988. Oxford currently publishes more than fifty
electronic packages in science, medicine, general reference, and
the humanities and social sciences: _Postmodern Culture_ will be
Oxford's first electronic journal and its first networked
electronic publication.
