COMMUNICATION:
What Will Become of Readers?
A review by Michael A. Keller
Avatars of the Word From Papyrus to Cyberspace.
James J. O'Donnell
Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 1998. 224 pp. $24.95. ISBN 0-674-05545-4.
O'Donnell approaches the current communication revolution through comparisons with earlier transformations of information technologies: oral to written, papyrus to codex, copied manuscript to print. He suggests that the ongoing changes are not as radical as many believe and offers suggestions for adjusting to them and for improving learning and teaching.
The author is university librarian, director of Academic Information Resources, and publisher, HighWire Press, Stanford University, 245 Green Library, Stanford, CA 94305-6004, USA. E-mail: Michael.Keller{at}Stanford.edu
