Title

¬The electronic book and future delights

Source

Serials. 3(1990) no.1, S.42-45

Year

1990

Abstract

Paper presented at the UK Serials Group conference on CD-ROM held in York in Sept 89. A light hearted look at the fantastic changes which are going to hit the library world when the printed book is displaced by the Electronic Book. Reviews the last 30 years of developments in the computer world so as to establish trends. Looks at a few current realities, e.g. a single chip which can contain much more information than a large book. It then projects these into the next decade and shows how they will result in the box of delights, called the Electronic Book. Enumerates the advantages of the Electronic Book claiming that the 500 year era of print is drawing to a close. Also looks at the radical changes which are currently beginning in reference libraries, especially in the USA.
