_Management of Plug-Ins_
As part of my overview/review of the Ramifications of Multimedia
in Electronic Journals, I am greatly interested in learning about the
management of the installations of plug-ins / helper applications to
support the Multimedia in these journals in academic and research
libraries/ institutions.
I am interested in managing the plug-ins / helper applications
for any and all types of multimedia found in these e-journals, notably,
audio, video, animation, VRML, and animation., as well the management
of plug-ins in general.
For examples, see my M-Bed(sm) registry of embedded multimedia
electronic journals at:
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/M-Bed.htm
Are the plug-ins installed and/or maintained from a central server,
or are they installed machine-by- machine? Otherwise?
In general, what are the issues faced in installing and maintaining
such plug-ins? The associated costs? Policy issues?
As Always, Any and All contributions, comments, questions, or
critiques are Most Welcome!
