Publishing
The people in Publishing
help you reach the public, and that's what a land-grant
university is all about. Whether you want a publication or brochure,
a Web site, CD, or integrated campaign, the editors and designers
in AgComm's Publishing Unit work with you to get the right
message to the right audience in the most effective form.
We have the expertise and experience to manage your project
from conception through creation, to production, marketing, and
distribution. In 2004, we produced more than 650 items and
consulted on many more projects.
What We Do
Purdue Extension Publications |
AgComm Publishing edits and designs peer-reviewed numbered
Purdue Extension materials. These publications range from
one-page fact sheets to interactive CD-ROMs.
In 2004, we produced 332 Purdue Extension publications.

editor or see our AgComm
Client Guidelines. |
Promotional Materials |
AgComm Publishing staff can make your product, program,
or event a success by creating promotional and marketing
materials. From postcards to billboards, no project is
too small or too big. Custom-designed, high-end promotional
materials take more time and money to create, so be sure
to allow for that in your schedule and budget.
In 2004, we completed 223 promotional and marketing
projects.

Web Site Editing and Design |
Our editors and designers work with you and your technical
support staff to develop Web sites based on your needs
and those of your audience. We edit your copy and create
a design for your site, then turn it over to you to maintain.
In 2004, we edited and designed 18 Web sites.
To get started, contact your
editor or see AgComm Client
Guidelines — Web Projects. |
CD-ROMs and DVDs |
Our editors and designers create CD-ROMs and DVDs, whether
you want a CD/DVD of conference papers or a fully interactive
instructional tool complete with video and animation.
In 2004, we produced 17 CD/DVD projects.

editor or see AgComm Client
