Microcomputer applications in online information work: an exploration

Abstract

The evolution of microcomputer hard‐ and software is very dynamic, and by analogy, the application of a microcomputer system can be seen as an adventurous exploration. This metaphor is taken to the extreme to shape a brief and light overview of the state‐of‐the‐art in the domain of microcomputer applications for online information retrieval from external databanks and from CD‐ROMs, and for the subsequent post‐processing of data downloaded to the microcomputer system.
