Abstract
New technology continues to have a powerful influence on information provision. The use of mainframe computers for information processing, and online access to them via telecommunications, are well established. Magnetic information stores are being supplemented by video disks. Electronic document delivery is being explored. Microcomputers (either stand‐alone or front‐end) are playing a larger role. New forms of telecommunication link are speeding message transmission.
