These steps are very similar to the three stages of technology
diffusion: modernisation, innovation and transformation.
So much of what we have done in libraries with technology has been
modernisation. We have taken the card catalogue and we have made it
electronic, you know that is nice but it really does not get us very
far. We have taken journals and we have started to do bit map page
images and that is nice but it really does not get us very far, I can
say again, with respect to transforming scientific communication. Our
real goal is to transform it.
