Abstract

This article presents a summary of the major findings of a survey of the use of hypertext systems and the production of hypertext products in UK libraries. Not surprisingly, academic libraries are found to be both the most enthusiastic users and producers. The survey concludes that there are normally four principal stages in a library's development of a hypertext system, although the possibility of leapfrogging via the World Wide Web is acknowledged.
