Editorial Reviews

"Austerberry does a remarkable job of showing the way forward to the largest potential users of such systems, while still making it very clear how education and training will move during the next decade or so...all in twenty well written, well illustrated and well indexed chapters...the book is certainly not one that will sit unread on your shelf." - British Journal of Educational Technology

The book is highly recommended for both beginners and more advanced readers, alrhough perhaps not for engineers who are involved in digital asset management on a daily basis. The book is up-to-date, informative, relevant, comprehensive and accurate.-European Broadcasting Union, January 2007

"the book is certainly not one that will sit unread on your shelf" - British Journal of Educational Technology
