Abstract: A method of supplying a book to a library involves receiving a request for the book over an electronic network, the request including formatting information and information specific to the library; applying the formatting information and the library-specific information of the request to a marked-up document representing the book to generate a printer-ready form of the book; and transmitting the printer-ready form over the electronic network.

Abstract: The reproduction of a requested source document in a requested available form (including electronic, print, audio and Braille) is disclosed. At a server, for each one of a plurality of documents at least one access pathway is applied to a marked-up form of the document. The access pathways define discrete parts of the document. A fragment of the marked-up document is generated for each said access pathway for each available form. A requested one or more parts of a source document is generated in a requested form from the respective stored fragments. The fragments are transmitted to the requesting customer for local reproduction.
