Abstract

“Interactive multimedia” was Last Year's Big Thing—so say the financial wizards, and they may be right. That particular flavor of convergence theory made no more sense than any of the others, and this year's hype is for The Almighty Web. Meanwhile, as with the World Wide Web, multimedia does have growing uses for many library and personal computer uses—and the author, ever at the rear of the pack, has dealt with some low‐level multimedia problems and promises. You won't learn a thing about production here, but there are some useful notes on what seems to work and where it might be going. Finally, the usual notes cover the PC and Macintosh literature received during April through June 1995.
