SmartCatalog has worked with colleges around the country and has
learned the best practices from the best of them. Our unique production
services feature:
1. Primary Draft Documents make
changes easier to read and incorporate.
Send us last year's electronic file, in any layout or word processing
format, and we will prepare the files for campus distribution. A
wide margin, extra-large type and plenty of room between the lines
makes it easier for departments to prepare revisions. We'll include
instructions on how revisions are to be made. You'll know you've
covered the bases and made life a little easier for your colleagues.
2. Highlighted Revisions save time
in proofing.
Checking revisions can be very time-consuming. Typically the editor
or project manager must compare old and new drafts to see if all
changes have been made. SmartCatalog saves you time by highlighting
the revised text on new page proofs. Your staff will thank you for
saving them time and ensuring accuracy.
3. Preparing for web and data from
day one creates a smoother, faster conversion.
On many campuses, the layout artist who prepares the publication
for print is in a separate office from the manager who prepares
the document for multichannel publishing. At SmartCatalog, the associate
who prepares your book also prepares your files for the website
or a database. By thinking about the final destination of your files
from the start, we can produce documents that transfer smoothly
across platforms.
4. Working with specialists means
creating a lasting product.
The SmartCatalog team has been producing publications for higher
education for over 10 years. We understand the institutional process,
and work with your team to streamline decision making and keep your
project on track. When your project is completed, you'll not only
have a better publication, you'll have a better process.
