Abstract
The practical use made of an Apple Macintosh desktop publishing system in a scientific research library is described. Examples are given to illustrate the range of uses, which include forms and stationery design, labelling and guiding, display and exhibition work, and publications such as newsletters and accessions lists. The use of templates is described. It is argued that in addition to such uses of desktop publishing as a tool, libraries are also well‐placed to offer desktop publishing as a resource to their readers.
