This service should be of interest to professors and instructors of fiber optic courses who need practical up-to-date papers on fiber optic applications, markets and technologies. Here is how it works: Instructor picks twice as many articles as he thinks he needs. IGI sends the articles to the instructor for review. Instructor selects the articles he wants in the order he wants them in the publication. IGI prints and binds the articles with the course, instructor, organization, etc. imprinted on the cover. All publications can be GBC or perfect bound with a sturdy, well designed cover, making a neat, readable, up-to-date and attractive package. Books for promotional purposes Soft covered, perfect bound books can be printed for promotional purposes as give-away reference items. Selected papers can be bound together with company brochures and other descriptive materials to make an attractive addition to your customers bookshelf, or to be used as a ready reference to your company's products. It keeps your name in front of the customer! Companies such as AMP, Codenoll, Gigabit Logic and others have done this quite successfully. Write Your Own Book If you have ever thought of writing "your own book," here is your opportunity. Information Gatekeepers, Inc. (IGI) has over 3000 papers covering 10,000 pages presented at IGI trade shows, conferences and published in IGI publications. You can pick a selection of papers for your volume, which IGI will prepare and print at your expense. If they satisfy a market need, IGI will market the books as a way for authors to recoup their investment. top Fiber Optics User's Manual & Design Series - $75 each ($750 for the full 17 volume set) order form  I.
