CD publishing and its scenario in India

Abstract

Highlights the features of CD‐ROM as a choice medium for information storage and dissemination, factors favouring CD publishing, and its areas of application. Describes how the newly arrived CD recordable drive changed the idea of desktop CD making, its working and limitations while mentioning the organizations that use CD‐Rs. Discusses the scenario of a CD‐ROM industry in India while listing a few Indian CD products. Concludes that CD‐ROM is the most sought‐after medium for commercial publishers and corporate communication and that, in India, the introduction of compulsory computer education in schools would augur well for the CD‐ROM market.
