| Summary: | Some 20 papers explore the opportunities and challenges for humanities scholars conducting research by networking on databases and electronic bulletin boards. They describe not only the obvious increase in breadth and depth of information sources accessible, but also the ability to manipulate text and images to provide new perspectives, the wider and more rapid dissemination of research results, the electronic discussions that bind communities of scholars more tightly, and the changing role of the library from an archive and lender of artifacts to a global information provider. Includes a list of recommendations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. |
