-Reverse publishing is the publication of a traditional publisher of an [[on-line]] manuscript freely accessible on the internet, in the form of a book destined to be sold in a [[brick and mortar]] library. One of the first examples in France was ''Rater mieux de Barberine'', first put on-line by French publisher [[Léo Scheer]], later available in paper form and coined by Scheer as ''rétropublication''. Another well-documented case is [[Bertelsmann]] publishing a book version of the [[German Wikipedia]].+ 
 +The terms '''online''' and '''offline''' (also '''on-line''' and '''off-line''') have specific meanings with respect to computer technology and [[telecommunication]]. The concepts have however been extended from their computing and telecommunication meanings into the area of human interaction and conversation, such that even ''offline'' can be used in contrast to the common usage of ''online'' (e.g., "I bought that shirt offline").
