_Abstract_
Scholars are facing unprecedented Information Overload in their
attempts to identify potentially relevant information sources.
Electronic networks have not only expedited traditional forms of
publishing but created new formal and informal opportunities for
communication. Conventional methods of information management are

information in the coming decades, systems that fully utilize the
digital nature of a growing number of scholarly resources must be
implemented.
