Abstract

Introduction to Electronic Document Management Systems provides an in-depth overview of the technology of electronic document management using modern electronic image processing. It will prove to be a key source of information for management and technical staff of organizations considering a transformation from traditional micrographics-based document storage and retrieval systems to new electronic document capture systems. It will also be useful for those organizations considering improving productivity through electronic management of large volumes of data records.
The 1994 winner of the Best Information Science Book Award is William Green of the California Institute of Technology and Jet Propulsion Laboratory for his book, Introduction to Electronic Document Management Systems, published by Academic Press. This book provides an in-depth look at image capture, processing, display, storage and hard-copy components and systems. Emphasizing the relationship between system requirements and system performance, this well-illustrated book isa key source of information for readers planning and establishing electronic imaging systems.
