Going Digital: Electronic Images in the Library Catalog and Beyond

Going Digital: Electronic Images in the Library Catalog and Beyond

“Going digital: electronic images in the library catalog and beyond” is a book published all the way in 1995. In this year was when practical consumers began using the internet and saving their own data into their personal hard drives. It was written by archiving consultants Ronald R Abbott and Mimi King. It is not available in a printing format, but it can be accessed virtually as a digitized novel. It is 81 pages and originally written and solely released in English. The fact that the book is no longer allowed in paper back is very important because if it had not been digitized and archived it would no longer be able to read and would be an immense waste of such valuable information. Considering that the book was released in the late 90’s before many websites were updating digitized information, it shows how much the efficiency of digital archiving has changed much over time. The book explains the importance of beginning to archive not only written data, but visual data as well. This book would be an important addition to the website because it goes back to the basics and foundations of digital archiving through images. The text was extremely popular to teach students in the early 90’s at the University of Toronto in Canada.
