Could you email me a little more detail? It seems e-books are real easy to do but if I can manage something in paper form then I can do an e-book or even site as a secondary source of the same material. In the end the goal is a voice for this community outside of our blogs. I am working on a few basic standards. I don't want them to be hugely limiting but at the same we can't print everything (Although I would love to).Robert Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536151998025229196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-15706633519951397712010-11-17T19:27:48.981-05:002010-11-17T19:27:48.981-05:00I think it's a wonderful idea Robert.

Though the process was a bit different than the norm, since the college regulated much of it (costs,trying to keep it free for the students etc.). Like Paul says, possibilities are endless. =)<br /><br />-WeaselWeaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12467584502095433332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-78204874242900811462010-11-17T16:24:55.245-05:002010-11-17T16:24:55.245-05:00I think this is a great idea, Robert.

I also know others who have used Lulu to publish anthologies, thereby offsetting printing costs and retaining rights to their work by creating a publishing entity.
