The LIGHT OF KNOWLEDGE NEW LAMPS FOR OLD: The Fourth Aslib Annual Lecture

Abstract

It is impertinent, a as mere consumer, to be addressing a gathering of professional experts in the communications industry. I feel rather like a housewife being invited to speak to a group of electrical engineers, or to a conference of managers of municipal water supplies, about the product that she expects to flow when she presses the switch or turns on the tap. We just want good clean information, at a standard voltage, well filtered, safely insulated, and ready for use: that is all there should be to it.
