Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1996, vol. 47, issue 9, 669-671

Abstract: Rapid growth in electronic publishing seems to have provoked a sense of uneasiness among information professionals. This essay describes the challenge of redefining the fundamental concept of “document” that underlies their apprehensions about changes in information generation, control, and access, along with their apprehensions about the future of the information professions. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
