This review covers developments in digital published information services mostly in the Business Information field. There are however, general trends in the development and marketing of these systems which are of considerable interest and concern to all users or potential users. I will expand the survey of CD‐ROM technology to all Discs and Laser Disc systems especially those usable with hard disc PCs. This perspective is from the viewpoint of an experienced user of online data both as an intermediary and end‐user. We have no CD‐ROM data as yet in the Information Centre at Credit Suisse First Boston Ltd. (CSFB) but several of my managerial staff have used and evaluated CD systems at one of our partners — the First Boston Corporation's Information Centre in New York. We have been using floppy disc based PC stand‐alone systems for some time both in the Information Centre and other areas of the Bank and both published databases and internally developed databases. CSFB is a long established investment bank with an insatiable demand for information of all kinds. We subscribe to some 13 host systems for on‐line database access.

Despite the breadth of knowledge on self and identity formation across the study of organizations, the field of organizational development and change has limited research on the construction of professional identity. Much has been written to describe the “self-concepts” of those practicing and researching in the field, but there have been no investigations that have explored how these “self-concepts” form. In addition, although women have contributed to defining the “self” in the field, men have held the dominant perspective on the subject. Thus, in this chapter, we address a disparity in the research by exploring the construction of professional identity in the field of organizational development and change, and we give voice to the renowned women who helped to build the field. Using the profiles of 17 American women included in The Palgrave Handbook of Organizational Change Thinkers, we perform a narrative analysis based upon the concepts and models prevalent in the literature on identity formation. By disentangling professional identity formation of the notable women in the field, we can begin to see the nuance and particularities involved in its construction and gain deeper understandings about effective ways to prepare individuals to work in and advance the field.

Beginning an article with a chronology stresses the importance of the past to the topic at hand. In the case of the information resources of the European Community, it is intended to dispel the idea that the information impact of 1992 will be made in 1992.
