Database: NavPress

NavPress publishes Current Thoughts and Trends, Discipleship Journal, and Pray magazines.

About the Work

For many years, Scribe has been working on NavPress Periodicals flagship magazine, Discipleship Journal. We converted the first 131 issues of the Discipleship Journal (DJ) from their original print into electronic "books." Our work on the project included:

  • scanning and OCR of print magazines
  • verifying text
  • reorganizing the content for consistency
  • SGML tagging
  • RTF conversion
  • Libronix book building
  • WordSearchBible ready HTML
  • assist in design and structure of publications Web site
  • flow of the SGML files into SQL database management system

We have been involved in the development of a SQL database for the Discipleship Journal. Scribe has also converted all of the issues of Pray into that SQL database for NavPress's Web site archive. Coming soon will be a CD-ROM of the first 60 issues of Pray.
