- Abstract
- Presents a sceptical review of the past 12 years of development of electronic information and looks forward to the next 12. On the positive side, 12 years of development mean that we now have: much more information available; better presentation of that information; better access to it, on balance; and a better understanding of information value. On the negative side, we now have: more expectations than we can deliver; a belief that a simple 'point and click' interface is available information; overselling of information; and new players threatening some of the older ones. Issues involving change in the future include: information ownership and users', authors' and distribuors' rights; new methods for managing information; dealing with information overload and filtering information for users; managing information in multiple modes; and organizing the payment for information delivered in multiple modes and through multiple channels
