The "Publications" Collection includes several books, brochures, and reports which were scanned and compressed for convenient online viewing.
Most of these publications will be available for direct viewing using DJVU and JAVA based viewers.
What is DJVU? DJVU is the recommended format for viewing our online publications. DjVu (pronounced "de-ja-vu") is a new image compression technology in development since 1996 by AT&T Labs to solve the problem of sharing large documents over the web. DjVu allows the distribution on the Internet of very high resolution images of scanned documents, digital documents, and photographs. DjVu allows content developers to scan high-resolution color pages of books, magazines, catalogs, manuals, newspapers, historical or ancient documents, and make them available on the Web.
The DJVU format offers several advantages:
- See the publication in its original, intended format
- Small File Size - Fast Viewing Experience
- Full Text Searching
- Zoom In, Select Text, Print/Save pages
- "Book like" experience
DJVU IN ACTION: The two images below showcase the DJVU User Interface while viewing a brochure.
