This volume constitutes a summary of the proceedings of a conference on the issues faced by humanities scholars in scholarly and instructional use of technology. It captures the conjoint thinking of the participants. Following the plenary session surveying conference objectives, the keynote address by Vartan Gregorian, president of Brown University, explores the explosion and fragmentation of information and the tasks of integrating and resynthesizing this information. The following commissioned papers are summarized: (1) "The Intellectual Implications of Electronic Information" (Oleg Grabar); (2) "The Professional Implications of Electronic Information" (Carolyn C. Lougee); (3) "The Implications of Electronic Information for the Sociology of Knowledge" (Richard A. Lanham); (4)"The Institutional Implications of Electronic Information" (William Y. Arms); and (5) "The Implications of Electronic Information for National Institutions" (Lawrence Dowler). Working groups were established for each of these areas, and the group reports are summarized. Comments by participants are reviewed, and remarks from the final session are summarized. (SLD)
