This paper is addressed to librarians and information managers who, as one of the many activities they routinely perform, frequently publish information in such formats as newsletters, manuals, brochures, forms, presentations, or reports. It is argued that desktop publishing--a personal computer-based software package used to generate documents of near-typeset quality--is an important tool for the information manager to use in packaging and delivering information to the end-user. Reasons for using desktop publishing are discussed, and a four-step explanation of how desktop publishing works is provided. Several factors that must be considered when implementing a desktop publishing system are outlined, including: (1) equipment selection; (2) software selection; (3) word processing interface; (4) need for graphics; (5) training; and (6) cost. It is suggested that the use of desktop publishing can result in better quality information, an improved image of the information center, new services for users, and an increased contribution to the organization.
