Abstract
Maintains that the image of the library as merely a place wherepeople go to read books is obsolete now that automated services are sowidespread. Looks at electronic journals, formerly almost all in ASCIIformat, although a new journal is to be digitized and include diagrams,tables and pictures etc. Points out that digitization is perhaps thebest way to facilitate enhanced access to information currently hiddenin books. Considers the problems that publishers will face incontrolling access and tracking use in order to collect revenues, aswell as potential problems of indexing.
