    Abstract
    A growing demand for digital documents is redefining the meaning of document delivery and repositioning the role it plays in libraries. Other trends helping to bring about these changes include the increasing sophistication of information technologies, new library philosophies and the prevalence of information 'pointers' such as bibliographic databases. Studies of delivery system usage have shown digital documents can meet a variety of research needs. Criteria for evaluating document delivery systems and services include consistency, dependability, rapid turnaround and ease of integration

    Abstract
    Today's electronic magazines, published by many companies are available through several different technologies and appeal to both consumers and professional researchers. Advertisers can use electronic magazines to take advantage of cross-media deals and prepare for the coming age of interactivity. A few critics point out that electronic magazines have a long way to go before they reach their potential, but by looking back to the history of magazine publishing a precedent is found that heralds a successful future for electronic publications

    Abstract
    The skills of editors are undervalued by the information industry. Some online media are beginning to follow a television model instead of a newspaper or book model. The danger this trend represents is that more and more information providers will adopt a style over substance strategy and overlook the fact that editorial skills are essential to the creation of high quality electronic databases

    Abstract
    Information visualization enables people to use their natural tools of observation and processing, extract knowledge more efficiently and find insights they miss when the information is presented in traditional formats. Advanced Visual System's 3D produces tools for developing information visualization. Visualisation has been used in financial companies. Visualization tools are becoming available on the Web via the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). Internet bandwidth limitations can be overcome through moving the data reading processing from the server to the Web browser
