 Hi Cathy, I've been wondering whether you are aware of any journals that maintain digital "reference databases" alongside the written publication. This reference database might include videos, high-definition images, interactive software, games or even source code. Did you know that when CS PhD students submit their dissertation, if they produced a body of code as part of the Doctorate, they are generally expected to print it out? Doesn't that seem archaic? It is very common that rich media fails to "fit" into a traditional paper or even digital journal. As a result, when I examine the history of publications about Games and Learning, very very rarely am I am to see the actual content that the author is writing about. Do you have any thoughts about this? Thanks! Derek Lomas Derek@playpower.org      Posted by : James
    Hi, Derek, You might want to ask Tara McPherson at USC about that. She's editor of VECTORS and IJLM.       Replied by : Cathy
