Integrated Publishing System
- Integrated Publishing System
IPS, or Integrated Publishing System, is a system created in 1982 for publishing multilingual literature. It was designed to run on an IBM mainframe using an Autologic typesetter.It was thought that IBM hoped to be able to use this to increase their hold on the publishing industry, since such systems were rare at the time due to the unprofitability of publishing in many countries with poor economies. [Seybold Report on Publishing Systems, Volume 12, No. 1, September 13, 1982] The software had been developed, despite its lack of financial viability on a for-profit basis, by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society for the non-profit publishing of Christian literature.The system went on to have some success commercially, being used for printing the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
