Includes a response by Gerald R. Brong. I am going to discuss two major new media : interactive electronic
systems and video disc. One is already with us, although on a very small scale,
and it is the kind of electronic media represented by PLATO and similar
computer-based systems. Although one reads about it constantly in Popular
Mechanics, the video disc is not here yet. It seems certain to come, however,
and I will try to outline some of the basic properties of both these new media.
Because I am not a librarian, I cannot point directly to the exact impact
these media will have on libraries, but I will as a layman allude to the kinds
of impact I think are likely.
