About This Book

This work chronicles the evolution of the digital book from its origins in 1971 through 2009, based on a decade of web research and interviews. It offers a year-by-year account of technological and institutional milestones: early digitization efforts, the rise of the web and online catalogs, the emergence of large online booksellers and publishers on the internet, library digitization, debates over copyright and open licensing, the multilingual expansion of online information, and the proliferation of reading devices and formats. It also examines shifts in access, publishing practices, and the changing roles of librarians and authors within a networked information environment.
