GPO and the American Printing Industry Move Forward with Sustainable Environmental Stewardship, Prepared Remarks from Robert C. Tapella, Public Printer of the United States drupa 2008 | World Market Print Media, Publishing & Converting | Messe Düsseldorf Düsseldorf, Germany | Saturday, May 31, 2008.
“Today, for many documents, there is no longer a requirement for typesetting, printing, or binding, and there is no tangible document to make its way to library shelves or otherwise be preserved for the future. Authors begin the process by digitally recording their manuscripts on a personal computer and then making their documents available through web portals. With growing frequency, there is often no need for an original printing of multiple copies. Such documents are said to be born digital and published to the Web. this publishing strategy has become so common today, that more than half of the Government information products we make available to our depository library partners never see ink-on-paper.”
