Abstract
Without being as pessimistic as Huxley or as moralistic as Rabelais, it is nevertheless clear that the information industry of the 1980s is facing some wrenching decisions. Money is not pouring in as it did in the ’70s, the novelty of online databases is wearing off, and asserting its presence is a new generation of information users: a generation of personal computer owners to whom a slide rule is an antique (if they know about it), access to information is a right, and science — after a generation of ethical scandals — has lost its aura of sanctity and incorruptibility.
