Typographic Conventions


Note: Links to full citations are marked with bold and italic and lead directly to the "Works Cited" page of this essay; for instance, this reference, 215, goes directly to the work cited page.

The following typographic conventions, visible but fairly meaningless in an electronic text, would serve to help print readers negotiate a paper hypertext. Internal links to lexia that are formally included as "part" of this hypertext are marked in Bold; the title of the referenced lexia would be the text of the previous link, and would appear both at the top of the page/screen and below the title of the web. Thus, browser readers could click on Demo to move to another "page." Print readers could turn to the page titled "Demo"; in both cases, Demo is an example of an internal link.

Links that were not written specifically for this web, even if originally written by me, are always denoted in the same font as the rest of this article, and would NOT be printed as hard-copy, except possibly as an appendix to the hypertext proper. For example, I might reference my syllabus for an on-line research paper course. Note that the font in this link has not appeared in bold face -- this is a typographic indication that this material would NOT be printed in any hard-copy version of this text, and, though referenced in the hypertext, is not "part" of it.

Links to texts written by others, unless they were written specifically for "Rethinking the Academy" would not be included in the print text, for a number of reasons, including copyright issues.

Thus, only the links in boldface are specifically written for this web, and designed to be delivered both on the World Wide Web and on paper - each link that is "within" the boundaries of the web proper, that is, that was written specifically for this essay, would be printed in a paper-text version of this work; the pages would then be bound together in alphabetical order following the abstract and outline contained in the cover sheet for "Building the Virtual Department". The total print-text generated would comprise a true print-based hypertext.
