| 520 | |a Desktop publishing (DTP) could potentially become a powerful, relatively inexpensive tool for use in university extension activities. This paper describes and explains the characteristics of DTP and examines its effects on university extension. In addition, it outlines the kind of hardware, software, and skills needed and costs; describes new activities and products related to DTP; and examines extension functions likely to be impinged upon by DTP. Because DTP does not require users to embed complicated commands in text to produce certain printing effects, it can be used by individuals who do not have extensive training in word processing or computing. Not all of the effects of DTP are positive, however. DTP brings with it the potential for good-looking, but poor-quality or unnecessary publications. Although visually attractive, justified text can actually impair the legibility of many instructional materials and thereby reduce their effectiveness. On the other hand, the capability of mixing graphics and text easily is likely to be a boon to educators. Word processing, advertising, the publication of bulletins and newsletters, the development and production of distance education print materials, and the printing of signs are among the many university extension functions that will likely be made easier by DTP. Besides empowering university extension, DTP will also challenge administrators and graphic artists to develop and maintain a consistent organizational visual image for their university extension programs. (Appendixes include sample DTP materials and lists and descriptions of additional readings on DTP, DTP software, and typical hardware required for DTP.) (MN) | ||
