Digital Information: Order or Anarchy?

摘要

The way users search for information has changed fundamentally due to Google, and those who manage information resources have to move with the times. Woodward and Estelle provide a useful overview of the current state of the digital revolution and its impact on academia, publishers, bookshops, public and national libraries. They highlight specific issues from the other six papers in this collection to illustrate the threat that Google poses how to benefit from it and generate more digital resources rather than fewer.
