Publishing student’s research featured in Bookseller

In her Bookworm on the Net column in the The Bookseller (28th May 2004) Anne Weale praises Andrew Morgan's dissertation on publishers' websites. Andrew, a final year student of Publishing and Computing at Oxford Brookes University, shared his research with Weale and with Anna Rafferty at Penguin. "Having spent several evenings studying it," writes Weale "I believe that the publishers of the 10 sites he has analysed would do well to ask him for a copy."
