Walt Crawford and Michael Gorman make a similar case in great detail, but the range of their vision seems limited and bound in contemporary versions of rapidly evolving technology See Walt Crawford and Michael Gorman, Future Libraries: Dreams, Madness, & Reality (Chicago: American Library Association, 1995).

5. There is some confusion about this issue. See for example Peter Lyman, "What is a Digital Library? Technology, Intellectual Property, and the Public Interest," Daedalus 125 (Fall 1996): 6. Lyman talks about computers as knowledge artifacts; I would suggest that it is better to talk about computers as appliances through which information is displayed. This semantic quibble is important because it makes clear the fundamental nature of the change we are facing.
