Abstract
Engineers and scientists have longed for instantaneous, distributed network access to the entire and technology literature. These longings are well on their way to being realized as a result of the improvement and convergence of the coumputing and communications infrastructure and the indispensability of the Internet for scientific research. The size of the organization able to perform a search has decreased as groups of lay people and scientists can now search ‘digital libraries’ without the aid of trained reference librarians.
