Interviews (1998-2001)
The collection gathers interviews conducted between 1998 and 2001 with writers, journalists, publishers, booksellers, librarians, researchers and other internet practitioners about how they use the Web and how it reshapes their work and cultural life. Contributors discuss digital libraries, multilingualism, the e-book and the future of paper, copyright and intellectual-property dilemmas, online community-building and translation tools, and personal experiences of professional change. Recurring themes include the tension between open information and authors' control, the Web's role in preserving minority languages, and the practical challenges of adapting traditional publishing and language resources to a global, digital environment.
