The Symposium will relate to the use of information technology that has already proved itself from the technical point of view but which, though promising, has not yet had a major economic impact on the publishing market, namely : optical media (e.g. compact discs and video discs), facsimile, broadband telecommunications networks, microcomputer applications, the creation of electronic manuscripts and new hardware such as scanners and laser printers.
Le symposium portera sur l'utilisation des technologies de l'information qui ont deja fait leurs preuves sur le plan technique mais qui, bien que prometteuses, n'ont pas encore eu d'impact economique important sur le marche de l'edition, a savoir : les media optiques (par exemple, disque-compact, video- disque), la telecopie, les reseaux de telecommunication a large bande, les applications micro-informatiques, la creation de manuscrits electroniques et des equipements nouveaux tel que les scanners et les imprimantes a laser.
