This book, first published in 1999, analyses the convergence of
financial, technical, and public policy considerations that turned
what seemed like science fiction twenty years ago into a library
fact of life today. It shows that while electronic publication
greatly speeds issuance of important scientific results of enduring
value, it also has the potential to lower the economic threshold at
which crank papers and marginal publications can gain a wide, if
sadly misled audience, in the short run. It demonstrates that while
scientists invented the web, they no longer control it, and that
even the very largest research organizations, libraries,
publishers, and journal aggregators, will, to a substantial degree,
be at the technological and economic mercy of commercial users of
the web.
