Jim Jordan is president and director of Columbia University Press (www.Columbia.edu/cu/cup) in New York. It is a nonprofit corporation separate from Columbia University, although it is closely associated. It is the only university press to publish music, and it distributes books on behalf of other organizations and publishers. It ventured into electronic publishing in 1990, when The Concise Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia went online on the Columbia University network. Currently, it publishes a variety of CD-ROMs. Its first four publications online are “Columbia International Affairs Online (CIAO),” “The Columbia Granger’s World of Poetry Online,” “Earthscape” and “The Columbia Gazetteer of the World Online.”
